Thin strips of mat board as spacer replacement?

Not sure if this belongs here but here goes.
I have 24 x 36 frames for some of my posters and I would like to start setting up some space between the print and the acrylic. Spacers are out of the question because the frames already have the mounting points set to fit the mount board, acrylic, and print. Although I believe I can get in a thin piece of mat board between the print and acrylic. So I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using thin strips of mat board to replace spacers?
I guess the idea is that I would cut up thin pieces of mat board (about 0.1875 inches in width) to fit around the print itself in that tiny little space that covers part of the print to keep all the pieces together in the frame. I added an image to illustrate the space I mean.
What do you guys think?
