Hell, I charge them on my hobby table with no other protection. I just make sure I'm around while the charge is taking place. I have 12 LiPo packs of differing voltage and capacity. All are just fine.

The LiPo in my cell phone hasn't blown up yet either. Crazy, I know. It's like keeping a grenade in my back pocket.
What is your hobby table made of? I keep hearing not to charge them on anything flammable (no wood) but I have no tables that are not wood and no workbenches that are not the same materials.
