Honeycomb Soldering Board 8" X 5 1/2".

A Honeycomb Soldering Block (large rectangle) is a type of soldering block made from ceramic material that has a honeycomb pattern of small cells on the surface. The purpose of the honeycomb pattern is to create small pockets of air that provide insulation and prevent the heat from building up in one spot, making it an ideal surface for soldering and annealing metals.

The best uses for a Honeycomb Soldering Block (large rectangle) include:

  • Soldering small or delicate metal pieces: The honeycomb pattern provides a stable and heat-resistant surface that can hold small pieces in place while soldering, preventing them from moving or tipping over.

  • Annealing metal: The honeycomb pattern helps distribute the heat evenly, which makes it easier to heat the metal to the required temperature for annealing.

  • Hardening wire: The honeycomb pattern can be used to hold a piece of wire in place while heating it with a torch to harden it.

Ceramic pins can be used with a Honeycomb Soldering Block (large rectangle) to hold small pieces of metal in place while soldering. They can be inserted into the small cells of the honeycomb pattern, creating a stable platform for the metal to rest on while being soldered.

Stainless steel pins can also be used with a Honeycomb Soldering Block (large rectangle) for holding larger or heavier pieces of metal in place. They can be inserted into the honeycomb pattern or used to support the metal piece from underneath. The stainless steel pins are heat-resistant and can be easily cleaned and reused.
