PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

Our batt systems are produced out of premium quality formaldehyde-free moisture proof MDF Extreme with thickness of 12 mm. This special sort MDF has 50 year warranty from the manufacturer doesn't need any additional chemical treatment and dimensionally is super stable.

Hexagonal inserts let you align them on a shelf in a very compact way

The huge advantages of the bat systems manufactured from MDF Extreme material comparing to a plywood alternatives:

# MDF Extreme doesn't warp at almost any possible conditions
# No signs of mold even being days and weeks in damp conditions
# MDF Extreme is much easier to clean having the same great adhesion with clay.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Even though our bats are produced from premium quality moisture proof MDF for the best results we DO NOT recommend soaking the bats in water for a long time.
To clean the batts we recommend first to scrape all the clay and then clean it with a wet sponge.
Store the bat on the edge to let it dry evenly and quicker.
Do NOT use heaters to dry the bats, only the natural way!

OPTIONS / ACCESSORIES

There are few options you can choose:

# without "sticky" mat - for the case your wheel has the bat pins installed and they match with the setup from our bats (254mm or 250mm spacing). In this case just use the bat pins to fix the bat - no mat is needed.

# with 1 sticky mat - Your wheel head has no holes for the bat pins? Or you don't want to drill any holes? Or maybe our bat system doesn't fit your bat pins? But you still want to use all the benefits of bats and bat systems?
No problem at all!
Just use our "sticky" mat.
1 sticky mat is included in this option. In average, if you are using the mat several times a week and treat it well it normally lasts 3 to 5 months.

# with 2 stciky mats - same as above, but 2 sticky mats are included in this option.

MERENOK POTTERY TOOL

Merenok pottery tools originates from Merenok Ceramics studio pottery enthusiasts (also available on Etsy). Our initial intent was to produce pottery bats and other tools for our studio in the Netherlands because most of the bats were only available in US and UK what made it relatively pricy in continental Europe, took too much time to produce and deliver. Most of our bats and bat systems we have in stock in the Netherlands and it's ready to be shipped within 1-3 days all over the Europe and internationally if needed.

PRICE DISCLAIMER

Dear customers, due to radical increase of the materials costs (more than 30%) in January 2023 we have to increase the prices as well.
