It’s frustrating. It&rsquo;s a waste of time. And usually, it happens because of internal stress that didn&rsquo;t get sorted out during annealing. If your temperature swings by even a couple of degrees, you&rsquo;re basically baking microscopic tension into the glass. You might not see it now, but the moment that glass hits a chemical or a heat cycle, it&rsquo;s gone. That&rsquo;s why we obsess over a 0.1°C tolerance. It sounds overkill until you&rsquo;ve seen a flask explode.</p>
