I might tak a look at one of those, on my first blow torch plumbing foray,
at my friend Warrem'sn house again, I burnt through the mat I bought from
Wickes after about 10 joints but maybe that was because I haven't quite
mastered hot plumbing yet. What I wanted was a good old fashoined asbestos
mat like we I used to but under bunsen burners whaen I was at school.

I've been using a glass fibre mat for years. Excellent gadget. The only
problem with using a blowtorch/blowlamp is that the fumes from soldering
tend to set the smoke alarm off!
