fusing float glass

I am planning on making 65 20"x27"x3/4" float glass panels fused from 1/4" pieces. I know I have numerous things to work out. I want the panels to be able to be seen through. some distortion, bubbles etc. are ok, but I want to see objects through the glass. My tests have a slight textured back from the thin ceramic paper or the kiln wash on the stainless steel. this texture is similar to frosted glass. I am trying to find high temperature graphite to see if I can get a smoother finish, but have not found a source for pieces that large. Anyone know a source?.
