CPU heat sink is made of Aluminum, but I'm not sure how safe aluminum is to shrimp. I think it should be corrode resistance, but I might be wrong

Dolphin TEM is using aluminum... opened up mine check already but unsure if screws used is stainless anot.. hmmm. actually thinking of finding any plastic resin that can buy off shelf so i can coat a thin layer on the aluminum..
