    I use a small soldering board on a small kiln shelf. Since the bench
    is plywood, I layed 1'x1' sample tiles from a local home improvement
    store on the bench, under the shelf and board. Cheap, works well. I'm
    sure marble would do as well to underlay the area, although I would
    get a good soldering surface to put on it. You want a surface that
    both withstands concentrated heat and holds that heat to reflect it
    back to the surface you are soldering on. You don't really want a
    surface that funnels heat away from your piece. Compressed charcoal
    is ideal, too.
