[Jewelry making - Article 00038] - [Orchid] Surface to reticulate on?

    I have started playing with reticulation on silver. First try was on
    a ceramic solder board. Next try was on a ceramic fiber solder board.
    The solid ceramic board soaked up a lot of heat so that I over heated
    the surface of the metal before the rest of the sheet reached
    temperature. The ceramic fiber board seemed better as far as allowing
    me to heat the metal easily and seemed much better. What I am
    wondering is what surface are people using that are giving good
    results when they reticulate. I figure asking will be a lot faster
    than torching some silver on every surface we have.
