can you put this in Elinchrom 7" reflector filter holder?
Yes, what Kirk on Staff said. Remember that placement of the filters (and lights that shine through them) is a little complicated, and you have to follow the right procedure of angle and rotation in order for polarization can take place. Google it.

If using the 17x20" sheet with a softbox, do they need to go on the outside of the diffusion, or could I tape them to the interior of the softbox as long as they don't melt? They're pricey, so I'd prefer just to buy two of them.
using a polarizing gell with a softbox is not is not effective you are just creating ND to get the full effect you need to use a point source light.

question
Can I cut this down to fit a Nikon R200 flash?
Yes, but remember, you need a pola filter with the camera.

question
Does the cross polarization work with flash units? Studio speed lights? I want to photograph guns but I need to neutralize the glare on hi gloss finishes and the spectral highlights on shiny metal finishes. Would cross polarization work for that?
I've gotten cross-polarization to work wonderfully when photographing 2D items (like museum paintings). The reduction/elimination of glare has been stunning. I've never attempted to light something with more dimension (like a gun).

question
Are these fire-resistant?
I doubt it's fire resistant. Ask Roscoe for it's melting & ignition temp. Roscoe is a high priced, high quality co. So far as I can remember they have very good customer service. I wouldn't use it or any other plastic type filter too close to a hot light. (Too close, say, <3) Hot light meaning a light such as a tungsten or halogen continuous flood light. Way further away for a spotlight. I doubt that strobe modeling lights would melt or catch them on fire. Measure the temp @ the distance U intend to to use the Roscoe filter to see if it exceeds Roscoe's recommendation. If need be, buy a larger filter to use @ a > distance. Don't forget that if you are using this type of polarizing filters, over the light source, they must be perfectly aligned w/ each other. I forget if they must be used w/ linear or circular lens polizers. I have to laugh when I worked in a commercial studio how many plastic type defusers I saw w/ patches pinned in place from hot lights burning holes in them.jdmcgraw

question
When shooting artwork such as oil paintings should I use a circular polarizer or a linear polarizer on the camera lens in conjunction with the Rosco polarizing gels on the lights?
I'm using a Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G Lens with a circular polarizing filter and it works fine. Just make sure the gels in front of the lights run in the same direction.
