Matt,

You don't want to mount directly to the scanner glass with fluid 
because there is the risk of it getting into the scanner.

Better to have someone cut you a piece of glass that will fit over 
the scanner glass, then install a frame on this glass of the size of 
your negative, and glue the frame to the glass. This eliminates the 
risk of the fluid getting into the scanner, plus you can remove it to 
clean away from the scanner itself.
