@sleachpots Thanks again, makes sense. Out of curiosity: if the clay ones are better, why do you use plaster ones?
-
Hi Simon! Big fan. I use a cat litter box as my mold for making these bats. They pop right out! I use plaster of Paris. Should i shell out the money for potters plaster? You're older videos on bats you used plaster of Paris I thought?

Hi Simon, how are you? We had a Artist Fair here in your old town of Barryville today. There was about 3 or 4 Potters but I like your pottery better. I made the Banner across Rt. 97 with the different event dates. I wish that you was in the area. I finally found a bag of the soft white clay that they gave us. Everything else is red clay except 2 boxes. My trimming of the foot is a little primative, I need to come see you and learn from the master. Chow

Hi Simon, I just am getting to see this video. My friend told me that I should buy plaster from a paint store (Comex...we are in Mexico) instead of a ceramic store because it is much cheaper. Will this be OK or should I shell out the extra money for No. 1 Plaster?

Have you ever tried to vacuum degas the plaster mixture to remove possible air bubbles?

Hi Simon, after talking to you last week about the clay bats I went ahead and make mine. It came out great. I cut the wood on my table saw using the fence and but my box together. I laid it on my vinyl sign material and I used silicone on the bottom of the wood. Mixed up the plaster, letting it sit for a few min. them poured it in. I did forget to add the metal mesh, I hope that it doesn't crack or break. My grandkids, Max and Jalena look at the videos, they say hello. Chow

why are you so concerned the bat is perfectly levelled, with one perfectly flat side and without bubbles? I can understand bubbles would make it fragile (is it therefore?), but the other 2? It will absorb water from the clay even if it is not levelled or flat...
Thanks for always sharing your experience with us. Besitos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina

@esoboleff a flat bat is easier to clean off ! and less likely to dig in with a scraper ! You do not want the bat to get all chiselled with scraper. Better actually to make bats out of clay that is bisque fired ( not hard) about 1 inch thick. SL

Simon, you may want to mention that when one rinises the bucket or anything else with plaster in/on it not to throw the water down the drain. It will stop up the drain; better to dump the water on the lawn. Thanks for the great video I have learned so much from you. Claire

Thats a monster plaster bat. How thick would you normally make it? Thanks, Simon.
