I buy mine at the local glass shop. They stock it for use in fireplaces and wood stoves with the 'glass' fronts.
I is not really glass, it is a ceramic product that is built to withstand heat to 1500 degrees without cracking or breaking.
It is dead flat and holds up real well on platens.
It is a little pricey [I paid $28 for my last piece, 2x7.5 inches] but it eliminates a lot of fuss with the platen evey so often

Hi windancer.
Just wondering how you attach the glass to your platten? Been wonder how to do this. How thin a sheet can you get. I have a square wheel and I need to geet the platten "just" out beyond the wheels. so I can tapper tangs and flatten them without getting divits in the steel from the wheel rubbing up against it.
 
Tried to get some "neoceran" at the glass shop to-day for my platen and they never heard of it. (we're a little behind up here).
They did say that what they use is a product called "Robex" for replacing glass in fireplaces rather than the original product.
This is because it will take a much higher heat than fireplace glass.
Anybody heard of this product and is it suitable.
It runs $69.00 Cdn. a sq. ft. (that's about
$35.00 U.S.), is 3/16" thick. They will cut it to size at no cost but charge to bevel
the edges.
Any info would be greatly appreciated on my end and maybe it will be useful for Mr. Clegg
as well.
 
WinDance how about posting the name and number of the glass store you got your glass from. I have tried to find it around where I live and people look at me like I am crazy when I tell them what it is and what I am going to use it for Thanks.
