Whenever I have an adhesive question, I use thistothat.com.

Brent Beach glues his glass to something (tempered hardboard?  MDF?).    I
have a firewall issue that keeps me from getting to his site, but I know he
used to have a page where he described the glue he uses.

I don't attach the glass to anything (too lazy).  I have not have any
problems.  I made a little container that is pictured on this page:

supplies
The glass goes on top for use.  There is a lip on 3 sides that keeps the
glass from sliding.  The fourth side is open to allow flattening of backs.

I like having a separate grit on each piece of glass.
