I'm more worried about oxidation. Pretty sure aluminium oxidises still?
mrjimyjohn:
Well yeah but not in the same way as steel. It'll take a good while to start showing signs of oxidization in the first place, but then once the entire surface is oxidized to a certain depth (extremely small number, I'm not sure what it is) it will stop and won't go any deeper. I don't think something like Nitromors would speed that process up but I guess it could happen...
I don't know enough to give you a definite answer, but I would be tempted to say you'll be fine.

Have been thinking of doing this for a while now, as well.
Best idea I've come up with was the use a garbage can lid as the "tub".
Interested to see what other people say. Mines anodized.
Sasha:
Mine is anodised too. It has a bit of paint on so I'll see if I can get rid of that and raw it next week some time. Will post pics and hopefully not end up with caustic soda filled rivers in the drilled bits.
