  Daniel, I don't think the poly would degrade at what you are heating it at,
but I would worry that the stability of the thickness of the dielectric would
become non-linear and you would run the possibility of creating a thin spot
(hard to detect at .006). The dielectric is only as good as it's weakest point
or thinnest point in this case. Seems quite a risk for the benefit your seeking.
