This. The solution is caustic in a true "hot tank" and the heat will etch the aluminum crazy fast. A quick search for hot tank aluminum revealed that there is a "cold tank" that may not damage the aluminum, but I think most shops use something non caustic and boil the solution or something? Not sure as I havent looked into it.
