Depending on the situation you can also use scrap pieces of metal clamped near the weld area for heat sinks while welding of brazing.

Never heard of clay/putty... doesn't sound like it would be a good conductivity with metal 
.
I have heard of using copper plates for that purpose, however. Never had a need to do that myself, but I'm using using regular angle, HSS shapes, etc in common thicknesses using FCAW.

Contrary to what most would probably say, I have wrapped a wet shop rag around things when I have MIG welded.

This is what I use. I use it around sensitive parts when I’m brazing HVAC lines. A wet rag definitely works wonders, but some times I won’t have the room and the the Thermal Trap comes out.
^^ yea wet rag but it doesn't give how many degree data
I got one from looking at the pic it should be a pretty big bottle... nope, small dinky . hope it will work well to protect the valves I am soldering.
