Hydrobats are made of Hydrostone plaster making them more durable than regular plaster bats.
All Hydrobats are casted with two rubber grommets that won't wear out and keep a tight grip over bat pins.
Hydrobats are designed to absorb moisture from your pots allowing you to release your work without the use of a wire cutter.
So go ahead and start making that dinner plate set you've been putting off --you'll never wire cut through the bottom of a piece again.
HB14 - The Ceramic Shop Hydrobat - 14"
If you like throwing on plaster bats, you will love using a Hydro-Bat! Because the Hydro-Bat is made of Hydro-Stone instead of the standard pottery plaster, it’s full eight to ten times stronger than similar products. You will find the surface of our bats to be scratch resistant, while the bats’ water-absorbing properties fully eliminate the need to cut your pieces off of the bat with a wire.
Most of our Hydro-Bats have been designed to fit on standard wheel heads with bat pins placed ten inches apart. Our smallest Hydro-Bats, featuring diamaters of 6”, 8” and 10”, do require adapters to enable them to fit centered on your wheel head, but not to worry, we carry those too. All of our adapters are made of sturdy polyethylene plastic, and will become a studio staple for you along with your Hydro-Bats.
If you have a pottery wheel with no drilled bat pin holes, no problem! Many of our customers have used our Hydro-Bats with a bat gripper with great success.
