    I have used garnet sand - just mix a bit with water to modeling clay
    consistency, flatten the surface  and press your pieces into it. 
    You can let it dry some and then solder away.  It doesn't work as
    well as using investment  plaster but is quicker and you don't have
    to wait for it to dry completely. Jan McClellan
