Hey Randy,
I use Hydro-Bats to make large plates. I had the sticking problem at =
first also. I seem to have solved it by running a wooden or plastic =
tool around the base where it touches the bat when I finish throwing. =
Its' almost like it releases the suction of the clay to the bat. I =
don't buy the too much water thing. I have trouble with the clay =
sticking to the bat while centering unless I run a very wet sponge over =
the surface first. I really like the Hydro-Bats now that I have figured =
out their little idiosyncrasies. Hope this helps.
Peace,

Hello,
I have 4 and love them. With my first one, I gouged it with a metal pin tool so now use a cut-off bamboo kitchen skewer. They don't last forever but a package lasts a long time and is pretty cheap.
Drying time varies with the atmosphere in my studio but they do release in their own time. Patience helps and it took several wrecked rims for me to figure that out.
