I think muellers sells them in packs of 3 or 5 for a few bucks.
Very true, the main difference between acrylic and polycarbonate is the poly has more impact resistance, and it does not like being laser engraved or cut.
Not to be nit picking, but CD's are polycarbonate . The top ones in the stack that are totally clear, is just a blank cd. When you remove the dye and Al layer, you have only polycarbonate sheet left.
I glue the tip to the clear bottom side of the CD disc, and then set up and trim the top face off the plastic. Sometimes the top layer can be peeled off also.

Actually, CDs contain both, plus aluminum....
•A base layer made of a polycarbonate plastic.
• A thin layer of aluminum coating over the polycarbonate plastic.
• A clear protective acrylic coating over the aluminum layer.
If you take a cd and bend it, it will finally shatter....a pure polycarb sheet of the same thickness will bend, and not shatter
Either way..... it still isn't the same as Kamui clear's pad...which btw, still needs to be sanded flat before gluing

With a capped ferrule, it is there only for looks, IMHO

Well, I usually never use these(clear pad) other than when Kamui's come with them. A friend of mine bought some of the multi color-designed ferrule material and i'm not sure how sturdy the material is. I've seen some done and the clear pad does look better.So it will hopefully serve as two purposes untill we see how the material holds up.
