If i am not wrong he said the saddle is not too talll but too thin, so shimming it on the bottom is not what he needs.
Anyway, if the saddle is not merely a "piece of something" laying between the bridge and the strings, and if putting a precious FWI saddle was intended to enrich the sound and the sustain, it sounds absurd tho put a shim of *plastic*
or a layer of glue under or aside it
