I thimpk that if you are mounting them on the outside of the bottom glass,
the glass would probably conduct the heat in a manner which would lead to the
same effect as a solid plate. If you are placing them "Strategically" around
the inside, then it should work fine, assuming you set them apart the right
distance to get an even flow throughout the substrate. Otherwise you would
end up with some dead spots.
