    Wow, Judy, it's on my shopping list for tomorrow. What a great idea
    - and you're right - being metal, no need to wait until things cool
    down. I love this idea and it will go into use right away. I use a
    "mini screen" (3 sections of aluminum hinged together - originally
    intended to use behind pots on the stove to prevent grease from
    splattering all over) behind my soldering blocks  - Protects thing
    sitting around in the vicinity, but was lacking in the solution of
    how to cover it. Now I know. Orchidians just have an incredible
    problem solving ability. Thanks. 

Kay
