Hi Spook. Another good option is aluminum duct tape. Heat proof (leastwise for the kind of temp we're talking here), can easily be cut to fit, shiny to reflect more light. I hadn't noticed that black Oatey heat shield before. A lot more expensive than duct tape, which I always have on hand. I've got a scrap of old fibreboard I use when soldering between joists/studs, especially with a regular torch where I have to hold the heat longer, whereas my mapp torch works faster. Probably asbestos, so I heavily sprayed it with barbecue heat paint to hold the fibres.
