I don't really think you want an electrolytic capacitor in an AC
application. Most (not all) are DC rated and do not want to see a
reverse voltage. You can probably find a polyproplyne foil or film (in
that voltage and capacitance rating), or an oil filled that will work
fine.

The capacitors he's referring to are polypropylene, electrolytic caps
are often uses for starting induction motors but run caps are poly or
oil filled.
