    What are your thoughts?
    Add a Glass overlay. It is very, very flat.

    Sorry I did not get an email on this and did not know of this response until today when an email came in from another person - Where are the sources for glass and is there a specific type that is better than the others?

    Use Borosilicate glass. McMaster Carr has it among many other sources.
