Hi, Mr. Science. Doesn't the manufacturer of the material under test provide some sort of dielectric property?

I'm not sure if the values are in the MSDS or not. Dielectric values of materials are listed widely on the internet. According to Richard Quick, "The dielectric strength of polyethylene is given as 1000 volts per mil, but this is not the case in Tesla coils. The standard breakdown voltages of a dielectric are calculated using a static DC voltage. When you run AC across the dielectric, the breakdown voltage must be divided by two."

Oh really? You're going to build a Tesla Coil? That sounds cool. I know this really cool guy that could help with brainstorming and calculations.
