One thing that might work is if you glued the 2mm plates together with high strength epoxy, this would likely also help with damping a bit, but is obviously a bit of a faff to do
    I might have some epoxy I can use. I might be able to get a hold of some 4mm plate. Should be a lot better. Did you get my pm?

    For vibration damping fill void between table plates with epoxy concrete.
    Sharp sand + 10mm gravel 2to1 by volume and 10 % epoxy. Cheapest i could find was in2 epoxy from easy composites.

    I have access to solid works within simulation addon.
    I could run some simulations for you.
