[Jewelry making - Article 00238] - [Orchid] Granulation without a backsheet

Hi everybody

    Sometime in the future, I would like to try granulation without a
    backsheet. I have a book where the author uses mica sheets to protect
    the spheres from melting while in the kiln. Wood working suppliers
    sell sheets of mica, but it is used to make lamp shades.....is this
    the same? If not, does anyone know where I can get sheet mica to use
    as a heat insulator? Is there an alternative to mica? 

Thanks
