Why people recommend it

Pointed to as a tutorial for making a cheap throwaway solder paste stencil at home by etching aluminium from a drinks can.

Watch for: Involves etching chemicals; suits low-volume boards

In their words

I might make it from a soda can like this video so I can throw it away and make a new one anyways if it become clogged with paint.
