    A piece of metal that is thick enough to drill so the earring is
    flat on it and does not touch the coils would be better.  

    I have a 6"x6"x1/4" stainless steel plate with a 1/4" x 21/2"
    rectangle cut out of it 2 inches from the edge that goes over my
    hotplate. The long, narrow slot allows for all types of pin findings
    and earring posts and lets the piece be in good contact with the
    plate for keum boo. I keep a wood stove thermometer on the plate to
    check temp.
