Which soldering and brazing mat should I use? |

 |
The most important factor to consider when choosing a soldering and brazing mat is the maximum temperature resistance rating. Once you have decided on the rating you need, the choice of fabric including how it’s made will be whittled down to just one option (sometimes two). | |||
 |
The next step is to decide which mat will be better suited to your particular application or project. | |||
 |
For example, some soldering and brazing mats are made from strong and rigid woven fabric. These plain mats are ideal for protecting flat surfaces such as tables and carpets. | |||
 |
Other mats, however, have additional features to make the soldering process run smoothly.
The soldering and brazing mat on the left has a small hole in the corner, which is used for hanging vertically on a nail. This gives additional protection to painted walls when soldering copper pipes, for instance. |
