I'd forgotten about the reaction of lye and aluminim. That alone would rule out using the "environmentally safe" alkaline-based strippers on aluminum. It would eat right through it. If you want a spectacular demonstration, stuff a pop bottle full of wadded up aluminum foil, make up a pint of strong lye solution, and pour it into the bottle. The odds are pretty good that it will explode and/or catch fire. If not it will definitely react violently.
