Dumb question...

Would selenium toner react with an aluminum tray?

I am planning to tone some prints this weekend. I was at Wal-Mart doing some errands and I found a cheap aluminum tray 12" x 18" x 3" in the kitchen section. Without even thinking, I bought it and brought it home so I could use it to tone prints in.

I figured it is cheap and I can throw it away if it gets too stained up after a while.

Then I thought, "Duh! Selenium might react with aluminum!" <slaps forehead>

I can't seem to find much information to verify.

So, the question is: Can I use an aluminum tray for selenium?
 
Aluminium trays are not ideal in a darkroom, keep well away. The Thiosuphate in KRST will attack the metal

I bet the plastic cat litter trays were cheaper and they'd be ideal. Feed the wife off the aluminium

No metal should be in contact with toners as far as I have read, and for that matter, aluminum is too reactive to be used for much of any wet darkroom use. Stick with plastic for toning.
 
I wouldn't trust aluminum with much of anythng, chemistry-wise. I have a gas grill that came with formed heavy foil pans for a drip catcher -- about three uses and the pans were perforated with pinholes. (So I made a "permanent" pan out of high-fired stoneware.)
