I doubt the need for optical glass for this application.  You do need some 
good quality glass, however.  If I were doing it I would look at cheap 
picture frames, perhaps the "frame-less" kind, and select one without 
defects.  If you can get your hands on some old scientific glass plates, 
developed or not, the glass for these was selected.  Strip the emulsion and 
cut to size.  Probably somebody is now throwing them away, somewhere, if 
you can only find the source.
