I've never used a substrate on the basking platform.
I use a granite tile
are yours made of glass Yvonne?
You can use pieces of cork bark, and glue them on with silicone, or some of that rubber shelf liner, the stuff that grips and has little holes all in it. I just glue it down with silicone, or lay any sort of rough textured tile on the glass.
Most of my above tank basking platforms are wood, so I don't use anything.

I prefer to use flat tiles as they hold heat better. I just glue a tile to a piece of wood held up by four legs.
