I use silicon sealant to glue tiles to wood to make coasters. I have found

wet it makes a very good job. I'm sure it will work just as well on glass

I use clear rtv silicone sealant to glue glass top goblets to wooden
stems. Works great and you can't see the sealant.
You just need to be careful and not use too much because it's
difficult to get the sealant off of the glass. I'm sure something will
take it off but it's easier not to use too much to begin with. It
takes 24 hours to cure. It sticks to the glass much better than to the
wood and you can pull it apart and all the sealant will be on the
glass. It does however make a joint that is more than adequate.

Years ago I bought a tube of RTV at Lowe's. I can't seem to find it
in any stores now, all I can find is silicone cement from GE which
does not have much gluing strength. Where can I get RTV?

Though not exactly the same as the older RTV, it is Currently known and
sold as Silicone Caulking... Check in the building/paint section at
Lowes or any other big box store. Not much difference between the old
items branded RTV and the Silicone Sealants found today.

(RTV stands for Room Temperature Vulcanizing and actually refers to a
class of adhesives and sealants, not a single product.)
