Thanks to everyone for once again sharing your expertise!
It seems an easy thing to make the bats, but I thought, if its so easy, =
why doesn't everyone do it and why are they relatively pricey?
Anyway, I'll be making some bats soon.
Glad to know about the linseed oil - would not have thought to treat =
them with that.
Someone suggested HardiBacker or tile backer.
I am *really* familiar with it because we are building our own home (no =
contractors - we are the labor), and so have had to use it in several =
areas.
Its a great idea and I bet it makes a great bat, but I hat to touch the =
stuff. Its like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. So is plaster, whih =
is why I am looking at Masonite. I have some Plasti-bats, but they tend =
to warp in my experience.
My mentor had those wonderful bats that had a square cut out of them - =
you insert a new square for each pot. I really like those too!
I imagine I can make some of those also.
Anyway, I think i have what knowledge I need and I really appreciate =
everyone jumping up to help - thanks!

I have five hardibacker bats (I purchased on Ebay) and I no longer use them for throwing. Clay doesn't seem to stick to the surface as well as other materials. I now only use them as ware boards or when I want to dry out clay. They absorb moisture extremely well.
So before you venture out and make a bunch hardibacker bats you may want to try one to see how it works for you.
