Water Glassing: Egg Preservation Experiment!

[HorseGirlAbby]

I also use glass for my water-glassing. I've not ever had a jar break. I would contact Ball company's customer service and ask for new jars. I think you may have got a bad batch. Maybe something physical happened to your jars, and you didn't notice. Perhaps they clanked into each other at some point, or got a large temp fluctuation. Any way, Ball jars should be able to handle stuff like that, and I would think the company would be very happy to replace them for you.

They are pretty packed into a small shelf, so I wonder if separating them out a bit more would help, as they are touching.

Ball jars are not at all known for being delicate, but if you are worried about it, do what you think is best.
