Dear Clayart,
I have one of the above that I like to throw on. Just short of resting them=
on
a hot kiln, they seem fairly indestructable, un warpable and fine. Does =
someone
have a good supplier for them at a competitive price?
I intend to order them from Axner when I reach the states, unless I hear a
better suggestion.
Thanks in advance, Alisa
PS I have not looked in the archives yet, but reckon I should read the most
certainly discussed disscussion on
what makes the best bats. I use screw heads, because I like sometimes to =
put
the pot back on and stretch it a bit more. Masonite were too slippery and
plaster, although good absorbency, they are heavy and chip.

Alisa,
To my knowledge, Plasti-Bats are very readily available from most places in the
States. At least in Wisconsin, just about every place that sells clay sells
Plasti-Bats. I would, however, really put some miles on that one you have befor
committing to a large order. The ones they sell now-a-days have one oval shaped
hole, which is also slightly wider than the bat pin, causing them to "flap" arou
on the bat. I recently bought 15 of them and have never regretted a purchase
more. Now I need to configure some sort of drilling apparatus to get precise
drilling done on all 15 unusable bats. I would definitely recommend against buy
them if they have an oval hole on one side.
Jeff
P.S. Does anyone know a place that still has round holed Plastibats in stock?

Jeff. your plastic bats.-- that slip and slid around.. re-drill them for your
wheel..it doesn't hurt to have more than one set of holes in them.. I have
some drilled for more than one brand of wheels. .. Jim in Dallas where cool
fall weather finally arrived..It was only 87 degrees yesterday...
