The glue makes all the difference in the sound also. I use Goop. Plumbers Goop.

X2 any kind of goop glue will work try to find a syringe to. apply it with makes things a lot easier.
I buy my glass from Stumpy here on OG. I get my slate from Penn Big Bed slate. Both are top notch and great to work with.
I deal with Stumpy for slate, glass & ceramic also. I used to use another certain company but got real tired of the crappy service.
