Hi Sharon,
Assuming that the piece is on a nice rigid board that should work out fine.
I'm not sure what plastic you're referring to, but plain contact paper would work OK and not leave a residue, but if you press it on too hard might be difficult to remove from very skinny pieces without a risk of cracking them.
As for transporting sheet glass, make a carrier from a piece of plywood with a wooden board screwed on near the bottom as a rest for the glass. Then you can secure this into your vehicle in a near upright position and use some duct tape to make sure the glass stays on it.

: I have been asked to finish a large project that is almost completely cut out, but is 2-3 hours away from me. I need to do the work at home, so I had planned on putting a frame around the pieces with strips of wood and placing foam over it. With an additional piece of wood over it to hold the foam down, I hoped that would be enough to hold everything in place. I was also considering the self adhesive plastic that is used to protect glass windows, but was concerned it would leave a residue. Do you have any other suggestions? Also, one panel still needs to be cut out. Since the glass should be transported vertically, any suggestions on holders or other tips? Thanks for your advice.
