COE90 would probably explode if touched in water and then in the torch then in water again.

I'm using COE 92 to 96. If you are using 90 brush it through the fire a few times to rewarm it slowly if you have a problem. I don't have that problem with any glass because my fuel mixture is correct. Hint.

since when does flame chemistry have anything to do with how shocky your glass is or is not?
