I'm a lampworker, I'm confused by the last step. Closing off the hole with the lump of glass for the stamp and the base creates a vacuum inside the bubble, does it not? Does this not cause annealing issues or make the objects very delicate once complete, considering they are under constant pressure?

What is the composition of the coating?

[@GlassQuest]

What coating are you referring to ?

[@BelyaevAlexeyGlass]

​@@GlassQuest I know that these are metal salts, they create an oxide film ( ( tin chloride, iron chloride and isopropyl titanate ).
But what is the composition? I've been looking for a long time, I can't find it (((((
