Acrylic is not expensive. You just need to find a place that will sell you a small peice. If you where in Spokane and came to where I work I would sell you a 1/4" thick, 2" wide, 3" long laser cut peice for $2.00. And that is with holes cut to boot.
You just need to find a local engraving shop like ours, they are all over the place. I use acrylic for all my blocks. Works fine. Just can't do stupid stuff like counter sinking screws into it close to the edge, or not get your O ring groove deep enough to where the O ring puts way to much pressure on the top and crack it from the screw holes.
I alway use a thin layer of clear RTV silicone on mine. Makes a nice flat well spread out surface area for even pressure.
