This ceramic soldering plate gives you a consistent surface to solder on. It has a highly heat-reflective ceramic that focuses heat on the your piece.Whether you're closing jump rings, soldering bezels or working with small metal components.
The four feet raise the plate just off your bench to improve airflow underneath and support. Just remember, this does not prevent the heat from transferring to your bench, so if you're soldering over a wooden bench or any other combustible surface, make sure to put a fire brick or heat proof mat underneath. It's designed to withstand the high heat of a jeweller’s torch without cracking or breaking down.
When the board is completely cool, you can clean the surface with water, which is handy for removing flux residue.
💡 Tip: Consider having one soldering plate for clean jobs and another for flux saturated or oxidised jobs to make cleaning easier.
Ensure you protect your bench when using soldering boards, as they do heat up and can burn wooden bench tops.
This soldering pad is also available as part of the Essential Soldering Kit.
