I am not sure. I noticed it took a while, but ended up with a spiderweb crack right where the CZ was placed. Maybe they cool differently than the glass? Thermal shock in that spot?

Clear Scummy Bubbles
When my clear has more scummy bubbles, does that mean I am using too much heat or oxygen? I am trying to figure out if it is me or the glass.
Thank you
