Can't do that!  These things look like museum pieces.  I couldn't live with
myself If I did that.  Here's a picture:

See what I mean? Now, imagine those mounted into clear anodized aluminum
with just those shallow disks sticking up a 1/16 th.  Too cool.

Anyway, they are as aluminum as aluminum foil will ever be.  I could always
polish off their anodize and have the same scenario as the foil.
