Can anyone suggest what they use for spacers when framing a pastel against glass?

I use 1/8" clear Econospace from www.frametek.com

I frame my pastels full frame (no mats) and use a Frame Teck product to keep the glass off the pastels.  Here is a link to Jerrys Artrama:  http://www.jerrysartarama.com/Framing-and-Matting/Framing-Hardware-and-Equipment/Fitting-Equipment/FrameTek-EconoSpace%c2%a9-Art-and-Glass-Separator

There is also the French method of framing soft pastels flat against the glass.with no matting, just be  careful that there will be no slippage.
