You might try Out of Doors Mart. They had to order ours from JC but it only took a week or so to get it.

Use Stucco tape. It. Will stick well and leaves NO Residue once removed.

Use plexiglass instead. You should be able to get it from the home center.

I would use Lexan (polycarbonate) than plexiglass (acrylic) it is easier to work with stronger and crack resistant. Get the UV resistant type to avoid yellowing.

If this is a piece of flat glass a good glass shop should be able to cut you a piece.
