What type of surfaces should I work on while Im soldering?
Place the Heat Resistant Solder Mat on a work surface. Although it is heat-resistant, the mat will still get hot and can heat the surface beneath it. Add an extra layer (such as a stainless steel sheet or tile) under the mat if you are working on a surface that you want to protect. If you do not have a Heat Resistant Solder Mat, you can use a ceramic tile.
