Jann's Netcraft (left) has solid glass blanks that you can sacrifice.

Since the blank is going to be cut up - really doesn't matter. Lamiglas and Batson ( I think ) still have solid glass as does Merrick Tackle. Jann's is quick/easy (no license / buy direct) and you can buy in 1 or 5 'lots' . So, I pointed to Jann's
