Glass Blowing Burn Name?
I am an intro glass blowing student, and I accidentally burned myself. It occurred when I was using the flat end of the jacks to shape and the blades rested on the inside of my forearm for a second, burning a long thin line across my arm. My partner, a much more experienced student, informed me that those types of burns are so common there is an actual name for it, but he could not remember what it was. Anyone know?

I think you mean a surface burn? That is more common when you touch the glass, not so much when you touch metal. Glass is an insulator so you can actually touch it for a second without it burning you very badly. Your jacks are conductors, which means the heat is very quickly transferred. They will burn you very badly if you aren't careful. If your burn was very quick you may have just gotten a surface burn, which would be lucky. Be careful from now on.

Shouldn't be common. The people I have been around call them first, second, and third degree.
Of course, anyone could give them a name
