I must admit that I was intrigued by your question, and even though I
shoot 
almost entirely digital IR, I've never experimented with reflectors, since

most of my stuff is shot during the daylight hours.  So last night I made 
two reflectors, one with smooth aluminum foil, and one with crumpled foil.

The smooth foil reflector worked great.  The crumpled foil appeared to 
diffuse the light slightly, but did not reflect as much of the light onto
my 
subject.  So yes, aluminum foil works great.  Hope this helps.
