Hi,

I use a shrinking disk from time to time on aluminum. To prevent surface damage, I coat the disk and surface with soap. It still marks the surface, but good results. I have switched over to a wood shrink disk, that works very well and tool mark free. It takes a little longer to get the same amount of shrink, but worth it.
