Newtex 9' x 12' Welding Pad Protector, Carbon Felt Torch Soldering Heat Shield, High Temp Flame-Resistant Fabric, Plumbers Pad, Made in USA (Single Unit)

I bought this to handle hot parts after welding. It worked great. I got curious and took a map gas flame to it and the map gas didn't do anything to it. This thing is great.

This did a great job protecting against heat from torches, solder, etc. My only complaint is that it drops fuzz/fibers easily. E.g. I dropped a piece of solder on it and when I picked it up with tweezers, bits of the fibers came with it. I’m guessing there was some flux on the tweezers that the fibers stuck to.

Just completed a large plumbing job in my home, and used this blanket for probably 20 different joints, with direct MAP gas flame exposure. It still looks as it did when new, and did a great job at protecting the surroundings.

It did exactly what it was supposed to . Soldering pipe joints in close proximity to the wall board and not mark on the wall board when done

I recently purchased the Newtex High-Temperature Carbon Fiber Soldering Heat Shield (9" x 12") to protect surfaces during soldering projects. The shield is indeed effective at withstanding high temperatures, which is crucial for preventing heat damage to surrounding areas.However, during my usage, I found that the shield tore slightly. This occurred while handling it during a particularly intense soldering session. While it didn't affect its overall functionality, it was a bit disappointing considering its high-temperature rating.Despite this minor flaw, the shield still performed admirably well. It effectively blocked heat and protected nearby surfaces from damage, which is exactly what I needed for my soldering projects. The size (9" x 12") was perfect for most of my work surfaces, offering adequate coverage without being too bulky.In conclusion, the Newtex High-Temperature Carbon Fiber Soldering Heat Shield is a reliable choice for heat protection, albeit with a tendency to tear under rigorous use. For less intense soldering tasks, it should perform exceptionally well.
