I just got something called Citrustrip Stripping Gel at the Home Despot, to remove finish from some wood trim. Pretty effective, is biodegradable, safe for use indoors, no fumes, etc. I don't know how it works but it seems pretty good. I went out to the shop and dipped a piece of alumininum in it few minutes ago, so far it doesn't seem to affect it....might be worth a look...
