k, asked my dad again about alu,
apperantly you can weld alu only to alu using MIG and TIG, but you cant weld other metals to it unless its plated.
as for soldering, its like the link says "there HAVE been several solder formulations developed for aluminum, each with it's own specific type of flux". but I doubt that these are available at your local hardware store,
