Magnesia Soldering Block

The Magnesia Soldering Block gives the bench a fireproof, heat-reflective surface for soldering and melting non-ferrous metals. It is a non-asbestos, fibrous block made from magnesium oxide, and unlike a charcoal block it resists fracturing, so it needs no binding wire and no annealing with a reducing flame before use. The surface is soft enough to press pins or the work itself into, holding a piece in position while you solder. The block measures 6" long by 3" wide by 2" high.

It withstands temperatures up to 2000°F (1093°C), which suits it to melting and soldering non-ferrous metals including copper, silver, and gold.

Features

• Non-asbestos, fibrous, fireproof construction
• Made from magnesium oxide for reliable heat reflection
• Resists fracturing, so no binding wire or reducing flame is needed
• Soft surface accepts pins or pressed objects to secure work in place
• Withstands temperatures up to 2000°F (1093°C)
• Suitable for soldering and melting non-ferrous metals including copper, silver, and gold

Notes

Important safety notice: Always use this product in a well-ventilated area and wear a protective mask when soldering. Exposure to soldering fumes and magnesium oxide fumes is considered toxic.
