Is there any practical way of tin plating aluminum (i.e. Miniboxes) so that it may be soldered? In particular, I just got some Datak TINNIT (a solution for tin-plating PC boards); the ad copy claimed that it "tends to plate any metal more active than tin", so I wonder if it will work on aluminum (though I suppose the oxide coating is likely to defeat this, and even if not, I don't know if the resulting coat would be usable). -- John Woods, Charles River Data Systems, Framingham MA, (508) 626-1101 ...!decvax!frog!john, john@frog.UUCP, ...!mit-eddie!jfw, jfw@eddie.mit.edu Happiness is Planet Earth in your rear-view mirror. - Sam Hurt
