War Scythe cap

So I’m build a war scythe and I didn’t realize the 1uF caps were supposed to be polarized electrolytic. I have a bunch of 1uF wima film caps; am I able to substitute these, or will it mess with the circuit? Thanks!
 
General rule of thumb:

You can always replace a polarized cap with a bipolar, but you can't always replace a bipolar cap with a polarized.

Wima makes some great little 1uF poly film caps with a similar form factor and lead spacing to a full-sized electrolytic. I'll generally replace any 1uF electrolytics in the signal path with one of those...unless it's something with an ungodly number of the things, like the EQD bit commander.

And a link!
