Yes, Giles - this would work.
If the 46mm slip-in filters hadn't been that expensive _and_ hard to
get by, I would have done this instead of cutting 2mm off a generic
46mm filter (cheap! I got one f.o.c. from my camera dealer).
The Olympus filters have the advance of being larger (equal diameter
as the slip-in holder) and they are knurled. My replacement is smaller
and flat, and consequently somewhat hard to get grip on.
The polarizer 'gel' - like all gels and plastic filters alike - is
very vulnerable. Therefore almost impossible to clean. I wouldn't like
to use it.
