Just kidding. This is an interesting approach. I'd like to formally request before, during, and after pictures.
im not sure if it will work on aluminum, but i dont see why it wouldnt. im no engineer so don take my word for it. i tried to take some pictures, but it was hard since it is matte black.

If it is lugged, you can have a tube replaced for a pretty decent price.
well lets put it this way. if it bust, then im goin to have it repaired anyway. freezing the top tube is free. so far its working out quite nicely. if you dont want it to burst the pipe, you have to redo it after a few hours.
