Cold working is the work done to the glass in ambient room temprature. Grinding, sandblasting, and polishing are the more common cold working processes. When glass is ground or polished, excessive heat is generated due to friction. Friction from grinding the surface of the glass can generate enough heat to crack the glass, so the glass is kept cool with running water.
