Inserts fit snugly in the bathole and a finger recess helps lift the insert holding your creation from the master bat.
PRODUCT INFO-
Please note that this buy are a full 3/4" thick and more warp resistant than a 1/2" thick bat. HMR (High Moisture Resistant) MDF is a fiberboard material made with formaldehyde-free adhesive and woodfiber. HMR MDF (Medex) is much more resistant to water and moisture than regular MDF and will be less likely to warp if abused.
The inserts in this set are made from 6mm (1/4") Baltic Birch Plywood which is nice and thick and more resistant to wear and warping than the old MDF inserts we use to sell.
This bat also has good clay adhesion and will last a long time if given proper care and storage.
CARING FOR YOUR BATS- Bats will last almost indefinitely if well maintained. For best results, sponge a little water onto dry, porous bats before use, but don't let them become waterlogged. Scrape off clay before it dries to avoid creating a lot of dust, and store bats on edge to avoid trapping moisture. Do not saturate MDF bats or leave them submerged in water- this may cause them to warp and swell.
