        In general, it is not a good idea. If you are stuck, use two polarized caps in series to make a non-polarized equivalent. You could also use a different value non-polarized cap. I’ve tried both of these solutions as a stop-gap until the correct part arrived.

          Ok, thanks. I’ll just add the correct part to the order.
