Platen on Grizzly

I am wanting to put a platen on my grizzly I hears glae is good but don't hold up is there any thin else to put on it and how do you put it on.

The Grizzly platen is made with mild steel. I used a 1/4" X 2" X 12" piece of O-01 on top of mine. I beveled and rounded the top and bottom, radiused the edges 1/16", and drilled and tapped three mounting holes prior to heat treat. Heat treat and leave it at full hardness.

I took my Grizzly platen in and had it ground flat. Then went to a glass shop and had them cut me a piece of the ceramic glass used in fireplaces. I JB Welded that to the flat platen and it grinds nice and flat and doesn't wear or warp. I did need to deepen the mounting slots to adjust for the extra platen thickness.
