How much would you expect the shipment cost?With that added upon the price,I would take a better look in a local store if I were you.

Alex_rcpilot said:Soldering an aluminum container?I just remember trying to solder aluminum alloy.There was absolutely no way to adhere any solder to it.Don't know whether pure aluminum would work.If you fail,try copper,it's much easier.But I still prefer using other things like a shallow cap or something to hold the sponge.Good luck.
Anyway, aluminium is OK to solder, but you MUST use specific aluminium solder - it uses a completely different type of flux, and will solder aluminium and stainless steel.
With normal solder/flux you don't have a prayer!.
