DO NOT glue a glass plate to a platen! At least, don't let glue be the only thing holding it on. I did that once, the glue got hot and the glass slid down until it tried to wrap around the wheel at the end of the platen - glass grenade. I was lucky that I turned away to pick up a tool at that exact instant.

Attach a small piece of metal to your platen with screws or pins just below the glass so the glass cannot move past it if it should come loose. Maybe your glue will never come loose or, then again, an emergency room doctor could spend all night picking glass fragments out of your face and body ....
