Michael, the crimper mentioned here will effectively crimp the disposable roasting pans. It's still sometimes hard to get the factory crimping out of the bottom of the pans, but with a little work, you can get through them. The material won't take paint well unless you acidify the metal. Not to be gross, urine will do the job. Some of the guys in Great Britian have used sheep urine, who knows how they get it, but it does work well. I suppose any source of urine will work...or perhaps a VERY weak solution of muratic acid would do the same thing. I recomend testing first. Regarding alum. soda and beer cans. After they've been annealed in an oven or gas grill, the burnt paint on the surface of the can looks pretty cool as a roof surface, especially on sheds or commerical buildings. With the same acid treatment mentioned above, they wil take paint as well. Good luck.
