Soldering mat??????????

[Scott_D]

What’s the best soldering mat / heat proof mat available?

 

[Gasmk1]

From experience they all last about 2 months before starting to fall apart

Cheap bes ones and staple 2 together ends up around £3 lasts over a month

 

[Harvest Fields]

None. They are all useless and cost a small fortune over the year.

Thought is was just me that went through them at a rate.

Absolutely the best way by far and that's why I stock the workshop with cheap BES mats as they take a hammering teaching schoolkids and apprentices to solder. £1.54 each if you buy 20+. Used in pairs like Shaun says. £3 per mat, last quite a while and nearly as long as a single posh mat costing £25 but you've got ten double mats to last you ages for £30.

Hi there

The ones made by Rothenberger have always served me well,

What’s a heat mat?
Just set fire to the customers wallpaper, kitchen carcass, paintwork like the rest of us.
