Skamolex Vermiculite Soldering Block, 5-1/2" x 2-3/4"

The Skamolex Vermiculite Soldering Block is a professional-grade soldering surface designed for jewelers and metalsmiths who demand clean, efficient heat work. Measuring 5‑1/2" x 2‑3/4" x 1‑1/8" thick (140 x 70 x 30mm), this block delivers concentrated, charcoal-block-style heat retention without the mess or hazards associated with traditional charcoal boards.

Completely asbestos-free and fume-free up to 1100°C (2012°F), this soldering block provides a safer working environment while maintaining excellent thermal performance. Tools such as tweezers and picks can be inserted directly into the board surface, giving you precise control over workpiece positioning during soldering. Lightweight and durable, the Skamolex block is a cleaner alternative to charcoal with no burning or residue concerns. Made in Europe.
