The best course to take is throw away that glass chamber, buy a low cost Stainless Steel (SS) four way cross (50 mm dia.) and make that your chamber. Installing a decent window (1 cm thick glass) and a high voltage feed thru is very easy - that leaves a place to add a vacuum exhaust and gas feed line. This SS 4-way will not just make a vastly safer way to do fusion but relax's the voltage/current required to do detectable fusion, too!
See fairly recent examples of people using 20 - 25 kV and around 10 ma or so in a 50 mm 4-way and getting strong fusion neutron counts. Aside: I assume you have deuterium gas, a proper power supply, and neutron detection system since you indicated your next step is fusion.)
