Yep, Andy Davidhazy has a note on this somewhere in the PhotoForum 
archives.
Two crossed polarizers also work btw. [This is also one of the proofs that 
polarizers don't affect (polarized) IR reflections in normal use]

I still feel that dual E-6 sheets or pol's are more hassle than a 
single sheet of 87C. The foil I intend to use is also rather thick, 
so heat wrinkling should be less.
