Had to chuck out a wall oven this week and as I was stripping it for scrap collection I had a thought about re-using the glass doors to make a base to put the TT on.
Mainly for fun and not really anything other than decorative to save stuff from landfill [ we can't put sheet or toughened glass if the recycle bins] but what would I use to glue these sheets together with?
Glazing silicone or epoxy or something else?
I'm still to clean the glass panels and it isn't something urgent; just an idle thought as I've seen people use similar in the past

How about not gluing them, but spacing them apart a bit with sorbothane, etc?
The glazier I contacted may have sheets of PCV in stock and a pressure table.
I did think about just using thin epoxy

I have seen special glass clamps for glass. Slides on tight “U” shape. Cn be glued.

I believe that gluing two sheets of glass with a fluid glue is not too easy to do even aesthetically and in the past I've used a double-sided film that has proven to be thin and relatively easy to apply, while simultaneously demonstrating a certain damping capacity.
Just my 2 cents.

Please note the product posted is just as an example I've not specifically used that one here.
However, you need to gain some experience with a few tests first, since each material can behave in a possibly slightly different way.
It shouldn't be too difficult using the usual technique, maybe even trying to start from one corner proceeding diagonally.

If it results not perfectly aligned, you can trim it with a sharp cutter of course.
I also believe that being oven glass it is very flat so adhesion of even a very thin film should not be an issue at all.
That was my first thought - water clear casting epoxies are readily available. I guess that air bubbles could be the biggest issue, however some variants are very slow setting (48 hours plus) which could be a help.
