There is the traditional firebrick to help conduct heat and provide a sturdy work surface. There is the ultra-soft block; I\u2019m not sure what it is made of since it was given to me. I want to say its Gypsum, that works great if you need to carve crevasses for things such as hinges. Then there is my favorite, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.riogrande.com\/Search\/fire-block\">Fire Block<\/a> I purchased from Fire Mountain Gems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/image2.fmgstatic.com\/images\/P3068TLB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This one is softer than the traditional, but not as soft as the ultra-soft. This one can also be carved out if needed, but I don\u2019t usually do that so no biggie. Some of the best things about it are that when you fire it, it doesn\u2019t fall apart like the ultra-soft one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i1058.photobucket.com\/albums\/t408\/TahiraDesigns\/_DSC0067-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"557\" height=\"330\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i1058.photobucket.com\/albums\/t408\/TahiraDesigns\/_DSC0066.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"561\" height=\"347\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It also really seems to conduct heat evenly and doesn\u2019t burn up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i1058.photobucket.com\/albums\/t408\/TahiraDesigns\/_DSC0065-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"325\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It is soft enough that you can stick a T-pin in it pretty far down, definitely further than a traditional brick, but not as far as the ultra-soft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i1058.photobucket.com\/albums\/t408\/TahiraDesigns\/_DSC0073-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"353\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Another good thing about it is that it leaves very little residue on your hands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ultra-soft<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i1058.photobucket.com\/albums\/t408\/TahiraDesigns\/_DSC0072.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"603\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Fire Block<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i1058.photobucket.com\/albums\/t408\/TahiraDesigns\/_DSC0071.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"379\" \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i1058.photobucket.com\/albums\/t408\/TahiraDesigns\/Thumbsup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"101\" height=\"77\" \/>This product gets a big thumbs up from me.
