...countour shape the top hard corners of the foam a bit, completely seal each piece of foam & let dry, embed it in cake frosting(bedding compound) with weights or clamps or what ever you have, let dry, scrape/sand the excess bedding compound, cover with matt...sand off all the little tits & bumps & cover again with one layer of whatever flavor glass you settled on...
