Bowl Hump Mold 16" X 4"

The Hydro-Bat Hump Mold is a bat that you attach to your wheel-head and use while throwing.  The mold attaches to the wheel with two rubber grommets embedded into the underside of the hydro-stone.  After placing the hump mold on the wheel, simply lay a slab on top of the hump mold.  Think of it as throwing the backside of a form.  You will still have to throw a foot by gathering clay from the slab, or by attaching a coil and compressing it to the back. 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.  Hydro-Stone is a US Gypsum material containing cement and crystalline silica, so it's very absorbent AND very strong -- you will find the surface of Hydro-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. Hydro-Bat Hump Molds allow beginners and professionals to consistently make forms with ease.
