Matace 2 Pack 12x14 Inch Fireproof Welding Blanket & Pad, 5mm Thickened Fire Resistant Carbon Felt Cloth, Flame Retardant Fabric for Stove Wick, Heat Shield for Soldering, Firepit, Smoker, Black

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to purchase this Matace 2 Pack 12x14 Inch Fireproof Welding Blanket. My primarily use was for making oil lamp wicks with pint and quart jars. The 5mm thickness is just right for small square wicks and for rolling them into slightly larger round wicks. The fabric does an excellent job of absorbing and wicking the lamp oil which is ideal for lamps.Since the pack included two blankets, I put the second one to good use in the kitchen. I fashioned it into a pot holder which has turned out to be superior to any store bought ones I have ever used. I can now easily remove a 500°F cast iron pan from the oven and I don’t even feel the heat on my hand. It is an impressive level of protection!Overall I believe the Matace 2 Pack 12x14 Inch Fireproof Welding Blanket offers excellent value for the price. It’s versatile, durable, and performs beyond expectations and highly recommend!

A must have for sweating plumbing in tight areas.

they worked while I was soldering in tight spaces--however they do create a foul smell and glow as if they will light afire.

This item functions exactly as it is supposed to, for the price I wasn't expecting much quality but dang was I wrong. They look like they're the size of a standard sheet of paper and very thick. Overall lightweight it helps to tack them behind what you're working on so that they stay still. I use both propane and map gas and they were able to handle that the higher heat level of MAP gas with ease. I would 100% buy these again but due to the quality I don't think I'll ever have to in my lifetime!

With all the technology out there, you will just have to use the torch, sometimes. That makes safety and protection paramount, this mat is made for the trade, it's softness makes it malleable, but don't let that fool you. It's design makes it tough, and it's weight versus thickness is just right.This is a value for money purchase that when used right will save you thousands!

The media could not be loaded. This is a soft and firepoof material.I've used fiberglass before,which can be very irritating to your skin,but this one is completely different,it's comforable to handle.As for whether it smokes, I guess that depends on the fuel you're using.Its heat resistance is excellent,and it's versatile for many uses around the house,like my alcohol stove and BBQ grill.Highly recommended!

Good product, just what I was expecting

Works perfectly as a temporary, hanging heat shield for the wall behind my stove pipe on morning burn-offs. Once the burn is done, I just unhook it from it's hanger on the wall and let it sit on the ground behind the stove. Works perfectly for me.
