Very similar to you, Teem, I use sandpaper with spray adhesive on a 1/4 inch sheet of plate glass with several grits attached.
Plane Lapping
What do you use to lap your plane beds? I've been messing around with spray adhesive, wet dry sand paper, and a long piece of melamine as a backer, and I get decent results.

Konrad Sauer from Sauer and Steiner practices a VERY accurate and interesting method.
He first uses a marble slab with a paper he found to be the best after trying a bunch of other papers, it's from NORTON intended for the Body-Auto shop industry: Champagne A285
He recently added a STARRET Machinist granite reference surface for the final stages.

It all works as long as you have a very flat surface and some good sandpaper. I have used glass and aluminum plate
