I've shot BP shotgun loads for over 15 years. It's been a while since I've used brass shells. I never tried water glass, but used Duco or just about any white glue to hold the OS card in place. I just pushed the OP card and cushion wad in, not worrying about pressure, so I never had one come apart. Never used lub, and for shotgun any BP will do. I usually get 20#s a order from Grafs to save on the hazmat fee. Their brand of powder works fine and is a little cheaper than GEOX. My BP shooting is usually reserved for SxS events. For weekly shooting at the club it's nitro powder in Remington hulls. I keep my pressures under 8000psi. Sounds like you're doing fine and having fun. That's what it's all about.
