    My favorite surface to solder on is fire bricks. The K-23 insulation
    brick can be pinned into, carved into shapes, reflects heat well and
    stands up for a long time. In addition, it can be resurfaced when
    necessary. I get mine from a building supply store (not Home Depot,
    but a specialty store) but ceramics supply places will carry them to
    use inside kilns. They usually sell for under $5 each. Be sure to get
    the K-23 as some of the other fire bricks are hard and not as easy to
    use. 

Let me know how you like it !
Deb
