    Seems like it will definitely cure the 'problem of dimpling' and clearcoat chipping.

    What's the thickness of the acrylic compared to wood? I recall seeing somewhere that combined they're the same thickness of a standard playfield, but can't find where that is now.

    Surely you will be losing some mechanical grip from the screw going into the wood due to the first few mm (at least) of the screw effectively not gripping anything, just passing through a hole in the acrylic - unless you have to use longer screws which could end up coming through the other side.

    Would there be enough grip to hold standalone posts, pop bumpers, etc. without them eventually working lose over time?

    Quoted from bobukcat:

    just make them long enough to compensate for the acrylic.

    That would be my major concern, you'd need specific screws and posts - not the standard sizes used by every other manufacturer
