A method and apparatus is provided for producing a hollow glass body product including a hollow glass body having an outer surface with a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion being sealed by a first bottom and the second end portion being sealed by a second bottom. A plurality of spaced apart filamentary defects are provided in the outer surface and at least part of the filamentary defects form open passages connecting an interior of the hollow glass body to the outer surface thereof. Each individual passage has a diameter in the micrometer range between more than 0 micrometers and less than 50 micrometers. A plurality of the micrometer range-sized open passages provides a total cross-sectional area sufficiently large for venting and/or pressure equalization.

Methods for producing glass articles from laminated glass tubing include introducing the glass tubing to a converter. The glass tubing includes a core layer under tensile stress, an outer clad layer under, and an inner clad layer. The methods include forming a feature the glass article at a working end of the laminated glass tubing and separating a glass article from the working end of the laminated glass tubing, which may expose the core layer under tensile stress at the working end of the glass tubing. The method further comprises remediating the exposed portion of the core layer by completely enclosing the core layer in a clad layer. Systems for re-cladding the exposed portion of the core layer as well as glass articles made using the systems and methods are also disclosed.
