The only time I personally can see this useful in my life is when working on an aluminum enclosure and wanting to make chasis ground - otherwise I'm not sure what any electronics advantage would be to aluminum solder? I'm sure in other fields it would be a god send. Now a days, all I ever solder are battery packs, mods, dna boards, etc...

It would be useful for making custom aluminum enclosures. Not everyone is satisfied with hammond boxes.
I am thinking of making a case out of double sided copper clad circuit board. I used to make project cases out of it back in my old research engineer days. I dead bugged the chips and soldered other components in the air. It gave great shielding. I used a soldering gun to join the pieces. It is stiff, thin, strong (fiberglass) and fairly light weight. It develops a lovely patina with use. My biggest complaint is that the corners and edges are all very sharp. You can't ease the edges much without sanding through the material. Still, copper clad is versatile.

Ditto, made a lot of ham gear cases out of double sided circuit boards back in the day. There used to be a lot of AARL stuff designed with it.

My dna flask broke... I'd buy this now, is it available? I can't find it on their Web site?

They announced it on 6/8 on FB. They said they would be selling it that weekend at a Vape expo (2 weeks ago) but they haven't put it up on their website. Since I have no interest, that's my extent of knowledge on it. Maybe send them an e-mail? They're usually pretty responsive.

Finally got answer from MC, all he wrote was apologize for inconvenience & new tracking # was emailed.
The email says the whole order was reshipped? But Im pretty sure just the buttons & screws will show up. It took long enough but he did make it right

A little financial incentive via a PP Claim can go a long way.

I didn't know Norway had moved to steam power, again. I wonder where they'll get the electricity to charge all those batteries, solar power doesn't work very well that far north of the equator.
