I was canning some broth today, and one of the kids came out looking like this. They are still cooling down, but I’m just going to assume this guy isn’t sealing and he’s already been allocated to the fridge.
I was just wondering what could have caused this. Did I not screw the ring on correctly to begin with, or is it likely that I managed to over-tighten this particular jar and the pressure made it pop open a bit?

I had that happen recently and afterwards I inspected the band and found that it had a little more play in it than other bands. I just assumed it was stretched or misshapen and tossed it.
