As far as the common ground, you could put the snad in a metal pan and have the metal pan be your common ground, or you could cut the pan into a shape of sorts to formt he glass in some sort of a shape...just some ideas, any idea if this would work?
theoretically: yes
practically, maybe... it depends, being a glass worker I have seen what can happen from uneven heating and cooling in the extremes, especially when there are imperfections in the material (e.g. the additives that are likely not mixed in well enough, I might try grinding the sand in a mortar and pestle or a ball mill to get finer grain and smaller additive particle size... and then try to mix it the best you can.)
