Serious overkill. A little dab of Clear Ge silicone bathtub caulk does the job nicely. Or you can go to a fine glassware shop, and buy little sticky dabs of PVC or silicone (Bumpons) that are used as feet so the glass won't hurt furniture, or vice versa. I used electrical tape and punched out little dabs using a standard hole punch.
