not a very solid way to mount it...

You would think that. I've use this method on some fairly good size chunks of steel in a 10" mill vise on a no. 5 mill. What I do is used a couple layers of plumbers lead sheet from roof caps, put it on the movable side of the vise jaw and tighten. The strips do not have to be the height of the jaw, just catch the upper 3/8" to 1/2" of the jaw. Of course, on the vise I had you had to use a 2 lb ball peen hammer or lead hammer to bump it down solid against the parallels. You had to use this arrangement on any piece of material that was not parallel or square with the vise. If you ever had an issue of the material moving in a mill vise, regardless how tight you make it, this will stop the movement. The copper wire trick works, too.
