Know what else you could use? A plastic cutting board. I’m spacing out on what the stuff is called. HDPE? That’s what is used for many plastic cutting boards. Take a ruler to the hardware store or yard sale, test for a flat one (bet most are good enough), and there you go.
My only concern with acrylic and the HDPE is the fastener. I think a self-tapping screw or wood screw will be fine in the HDPE if you drill a pilot hole first.
