It blistered out under a red oxide auto primer and catalyzed acrylic enamel that I had painted a car with. All the blisters were over rust pits that still had the dry, white residue of the navel jelly, applied as per directions. I never used it again.
Now, 90% of my paint/rust removal is using various forms of fine blasting media such as sand, glass beads, ground glass, black beauty, etc.. Which different media gets used is dictated by the surface and material being cleaned. The other 10% gets cleaned with fast-grade lacquer thinners, which doesn't leave anything of itself behind to contaminate the refinishing process.
I've never had a paint system failure in over 30 years since I switched to using inert blasting media and stopped using chemical strippers.
However, for small, simple shaped parts, if proper cleaning and neutralizing is done, then I can see using certain chemicals or electrolysis methods.
The trick is in knowing what's the best method for the part in question, and not getting caught up in thinking that there's one solution to all stripping problems. One example is never using caustics on aluminum.
The only thing that comes closest to a one-solution method is sandblasting. And even that has it's many limitations too.
