Hello there,
If you can find it, use a 2mm glass of excellent quality. A good seal for daguerreotype packages is Filmoplast P-90 (12.50 EUR at Permadocument in Belgium) which consists of a good quality paper base with an autoadhesive layer which is entirely reversible. After the seal is made you can make it water and air resistant by applying a thin coat of micro-cristalline wax.
Greetings from Brussels,
Roger

If yes, do you use UV-protective glass?. For a good reflect of daguerreotype image, what thickness of glass do you use?.What material do you use to make a good seal?. Do you have uncased yours daguerreotypes?. Thanks once again Manuel Estebane zSpain

Manuel,
I have never seen brass mats. However, I can think of no reason why you could not make a mat out of 2 ply non-bu ffered, acid free, 100% rag mat board.
I mount my own contemporary dags is passe-partout mounts made of this material.
Of course, making sure you have a good seal is all important
