DIY tablet computer, maybe.

Yeah I feel that. Alot of it is for its own sake, because I enjoy it despite the complaining, and to see whats possible.
I also consider it as a sort of installments thing. £20 here and there is alot more agreeable and easier to handle than dropping £500 all at once. Or worse than that, having to continue paying it off after I find all the shortcomings with the device.

I am a huge fan of 3M VHB tape. They make a clear version for glass. I believe it is the the same acrylic adhesive most manufacturers use for bonding windows and windshields for everything from aircraft to cars. It is also extensively used in the construction of the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. Once you stick it on, you can never get it off again.
It is also easier to apply than liquid adhesives.

You can make Gorilla glass.

That sounds ideal for sticking the glass down, and in general. I'll check it out.

I did look into that a bit back. The big advantage of chemical glass is that it can be really thin and flex a good bit before it breaks. Ideally i'd want thick enough glass that it shoudn't bend much with pen pressure applied.

I bought a roll of Tesa 4965
https://www.tesa.com/en/industry/tesa-4965.html
pretty good, instant results
1. Store it on ziplock, or edges will atract fuss (my daughter stored it with some clothe and it sitill is fine for most uses, but not between two glass/plastic panels.
2. Getting backing off takes a little practice. I leave a little excess outside, surplus backing underside, apply tape, remove the backing on surplus side and cut off the "tail" before joining two panels together.
3. Sticks to everyting and only thing it did not work was sticking a shower handle holder on the tile on the bathroom, it had tilting load and it eventually crept. I have used it on the fixtures to hold material that is drilled, sawed, cut, routed, sanded and it has been nearly perfect. Only on latest ocassion I thinkt that I did remove all of it and it interacted with sprayable alcyd paint (some roughness).
Higbly recommeded instead of glueing.
