1/4" Hardboard "Masonite" Bats
When properly cared for these bats offer years of service at a very
affordable price. They are slightly absorbent, offer good clay adhesion
and their normal 1/4" thickness makes them compact to store.
No added formaldehyde or nasty chemicals of any kind.
Made from wood fibers and tempered with a thin spray of linseed oil.
That's it!
Bats should be cleaned and stacked or stored vertically on a bat rack
after use. Do not soak wood bats of any kind. Pots should be wire cut
from the bats after throwing and removed when they are leather hard. The
remaining pad of clay should be scraped off before storing. Occasional
sponge cleaning is fine

Dirty Girls ROUND
Bat system w/10 inserts
Dirty Girls ROUND Bat system w/10 inserts
Our new Round Bat Insert System is the best! It comes with one master
bat made of an exterior grade wood material that is highly
water-resistant and durable and 10 ROUND inserts that are a full 7.5" in
diameter. You can throw any pot with a base 7.5" or smaller. I throw 90%
of my pots on this system. It saves tons of shelf space! Our inserts are
30% larger than competitors!
There is an shallow cutout under the insert tab for placing a wooden
tool to pry up the bats. There are also cutouts across from each bat pin
hole on the underside so you can easily lift the master bat off the
wheel!
Extra Inserts are sold in sets of 10.
Do not leave submerged in water. Any wood based product left submerged
in water will degrade and warp, so be nice to your bat system and gently
clean the components and set them out to dry either on their sides or at
a diagonal, just not stacked. If left stacked when fully wet, the
inserts will swell in the center. They will dry out flat again, but it
will take time!

Xiem Self Adhesive
Bat
Self Adhesive Foam: Made for Bat. Used for
Trimming.
Xiem Studio Tools innovative peel-and-stick self-adhesive foam trimming
bat is ideal for trimming large bowls and plates without the use of a
coil to attach the piece to the wheel head. The foam bat sticks firmly
to all types of 14 wood and plastic bats.
Once applied to the bat, its surface grips the rims of leather hard
pieces and holds them in place for trimming. Items can be easily
centered using the concentric rings.
WonderBats perform similar to plaster in that there is no need to
wire off. WonderBats are made from1/2" thick material and thus resists
warping and are very durable. All bats are drilled for standard 3/8"
diameter pins on 10" centers and now have reinforced grommets in the pin
hole.
* To get the clay to stick to WonderBats when they are new, wipe the
throwing surface of the WonderBat with a wet sponge and then wipe off
any excess moisture with a dry towel.
* When throwing on WonderBats there is no need to wire-off. When the
clay reaches the leather-hard stage it will release from the WonderBat.
* WonderBats do not need to be waterproofed, in fact we strongly
recommend against it. The material they are made out of is extremely
water resistant, but is also porous, which it why they perform similar
to plaster. If they are sealed or waterproofed it can greatly reduce, or
eliminate, their ability to release when the clay becomes leather-hard.
Cleaning
* We do not recommend cleaning WonderBats when dry by scraping them due
the hazards associated with clay dust.
* When washing WonderBats, be sure to moisten both surfaces equally. A
mild detergent can be used if needed. They can be fully immersed if
desired.
* WonderBats should be dried on edge with adequate spacing between them.
A dish rack works well for this.
*Do not lay WonderBats flat when
drying them. This can lead to them becoming dished.
If this happens, thoroughly wet both surfaces of the affected WonderBat
and dry on edge as described above.
Storage
* WonderBats should be thoroughly dried, as described above, before
storage.
* WonderBats can be stored on edge or flat as desired.
