I have a few very tight space solder jobs to do. I have to protect 2 things:
1- drwyall
2-an electrical wire.
What are some good materials to use to do this. I have done the foil thing in the past but that last like 5 seonds before you are through it.

The foil with cool gel.

Cool Gel is good stuff!
I bought it or a similar product the first time about 6 or 7 years ago and have been using it ever since.
At one of the Manufacturer Demo Days at the local supply house a rep was showing it off and I was invited to hold a torch to a coated C-Note...
It did not burn and everybody that saw that bought some. A very impressive demonstration if you ask me...

Another good product is a flame protector cloth. These are non-asbestos usually ceramic fiber cloth... Thanks NASA!

Well not that close but awkward at the least :)

I'd go for the cool gel. I picked a couple bottled up at the HD a few years ago. When I went back for more they were no where to be found. The great employees there ofcourse had no clue what I was talking about when I asked for it!!
 
joint

I use the silicone burn blanket. As for the picture of the joint being made, propane?, and is that a pencil flame tip? If so, is that Fred Flintstone doing the soldering?
