It may be a bit odd-shaped for your needs, but Jon Dugan made a frame for supporting a flame-polished acrylic sheet I bought, with holes drilled at regular intervals at precisely the width for high powered infra-red LEDs.
The odd thing is that the sheet is about 4 feet x 1 feet. Yes, strange. But it might be good enough for starting with. We'd have to talk with Jon Dugan about it, but I imagine he'd be happy to let us at least pick it up and use it for the day. He's getting back from Delaware late night Friday, I believe.
