James,

Does your strip heater have a thermostat?

Depending on the thickness of the acrylic, you'll probably need about 300 degrees.

You shouldn't need to place anything over the acrylic, to hold in contact with the heating element.

I use a premade strip heater, in a case. I place a piece of wood over the plastic to keep it from warping if it is thin, (wood is a fairly good insulator and if it does not start to turn brown you have not exceeded its temperature limit). Thicker I use nothing. It works very differently than an unrollable heater so no advice for that.
