I love soda!
But not here:
I've got this oval serving dish out of my last firing that turned out great on the outside, but inside I've got a soda ash drip that has ruined the piece. It dropped down from the bottom of the shelf that was hanging above it during the firing. It's not fully melted and has open pinholes in it. I know I could refire the piece to melt it because I've done that before to cone 10 soda and it has worked. But I wonder if it would melt at an earlier temperature, at bisque temps? cone 6? Any thoughts?

I would try a bisque first as soda melts below 1800F, but you never know what it will look like.
Then I would try higher.
