Well, that's what we like to hear, in these cash-strapped, pandemic times.
Micro Krystal clear worker fairly well, but it can only be 'stretched' over a small area. Beyond that, the 'meniscus' effect- concave, in this instance- is too pronounced.
Are you planning to offer these with an accessory kit of some sort?

I ordered some 'Evergreen' styrene tubing recently, and the vendor also included a mix of other Evergreen products. Much to my surprise, these tinted translucent sheets were included. If I'd only known, eh? However, I guess it's handy to know they're available, as another option.
Still, I'm happy with the results I got from Mikro Krystal Clear.

Very, very nice, Dean! That perfectly in-scale waffle pattern is also pretty impressive! Did you use a die-stamp for that?
