I'm guessing your worried about the acrylic cracking from the pressure of the magnets squeezing the acrylic up to the glass ? How thick is your acrylic and how much of a void do you think you have between the two ?

Im not worried about the acrylic cracking im just concerned about the performance. the acrylic is 3/16" and the air gap (cant be measured but i would say like 1/16"? cant be much) 1/4" total air an acrylic (ish)
