Gold electroplating strips pretty well, but, will gold filled or rolled gold plate do OK?

My gold stripping cell works very well with gold plated stuff. However, I was just wondering how well it would work for gold filled or rolled gold plate items. I'm well aware that a chemical process is considered to be better. I'm still curious though and would love to hear from people who have placed gold filled or rolled gold plated things into their stripping cells.
 
I have heard that it does not work on karat gold or gold filled, but I once dissolved a Karat piece in the cell.

Why not try it in a small clean cell with one small piece? The kind of filler/base material matters a lot, I can imagine.
 
The one possible problem may be the silver content in the alloy , I’m not sure that will dissolve or if it will passivate the alloy after a while but worth a try.
