Hello Jane,

    You asked about solder bricks. I have used soft kiln brick for nearly
    20 years. These bricks are used to line large kilns - I obtained mine
    from a brick factory. The bricks were broken and not usable by the
    factory, so they gave me several from their trash bin. They're soft
    enough that they can be easily sawed with a hack saw to make thinner
    slabs for props and enclosures/ovens when soldering large items. I
    can secure pieces to the brick by pushing stainless steel dressmaker
    pins into the brick.
