Faster glass cooling method

What if we could put molten glass into the water to cool it instantly, with a chance of it becoming a cracked glass(curio\resmelt)

Flash cooling glass is a horrible idea, it causes the glass to form stresses which are likely to cause serious problems. The most likely outcome of this is the glass simply shattering, even if the glass doesn't shatter it would be extremely fragile to the point its likely to break with any applied pressure. In reality just letting glass cool on its own like we do now results in weak glass or even glass that will shatter on its own as it cools. I'd actually suggest the addition of a new structure for the purpose of properly treating the glass, an annealing kiln that would slowly cool the glass to make it stronger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(glass)

was thinking the same thing, you could drop molten glass in water on purpose just to make a rupert's drop

and then smash it for a potential experience event
