Hydro-Bat Hump Molds are designed to use on the wheel or with slabs for hand building. These clever molds allow you to produce identical sets of dishes easily. Made of Hydro-Stone, a USG product containing cement and crystalline silica, they are 8 to 10 times stronger than standard pottery plaster. The surface is scratch resistant but still absorbs water as well as plaster. Each mold has grommets inset in the underside sized to fit on 3/8" dia. Bat Pins. All but the 8" and 9" Plates are spaced 10" on center to fit all standard wheelheads. When used on the wheel, the Hydro-Bat Hump Molds are designed to form the clay piece upside down.

Hydro-Bat Hump Molds are designed to use on the wheel or with slabs for hand building. These clever molds allow you to produce identical sets of dishes easily. Made of Hydro-Stone, a USG product containing cement and crystalline silica, they are 8 to 10 times stronger than standard pottery plaster. The surface is scratch resistant but still absorbs water as well as plaster. Each mold has grommets inset in the underside sized to fit on 3/8" dia. Bat Pins. All but the 8" and 9" Plates are spaced 10" on center to fit all standard wheelheads.
When used on the wheel, the Hydro-Bat Hump Molds are designed to form the clay piece upside down. The contour of the piece is determined by the shape of the mold as clay is drawn down over the spinning form. Once the shape is finished and a lip is created, a foot ring can be thrown if desired. The form is then allowed to stiffen until it releases from the mold. No further trimming is necessary.
Please note: because the HBHM9P is only 9" in diameter, its grommets are set 6" on center and the HBA Adapter (C-131-HBA) is required to use it on a standard wheelhead.You cannot use the HBHM9P without the HBA Adapter. See 'Related Products' below.
The HBHM9P Plate Mold measures 9" in dia. x 1-1/2" thick.
