For anyone that sealed their bat system: Could you name the product you used and the result? I’d like to seal the main bat before using it.

More of a question than an answer. I wonder if a marine base or a water seal on just the outer ring would be the answer to the warping issue. The outer ring is subjected to more water than the inserts. Don’t seal the inserts so the clay can dry. I am considering buying this system and that is what I am thinking about.

will this fit the Speedball Artista Pottery Wheel?

I was told that all pottery wheels have the pins in the same place. It fit all the ones that my studio uses. They work great too!!!

Any tips on how to make inserts fit without wobbling and making it impossible to center? I tried bits of clay in corners & soaking inserts in water.

Make sure the bottom plate is completely clean and level. If this is not the problem, try bits of paper to make sure fit is tight. I have had this problem with larger amounts of clay but not with smaller pieces. After a few rotations the slip tends to settle into the bat and the centering proceeds normally..but it might take patience. I love my system but it does wobble a bit at first.

I bought this system and the bat pins are at the right place, but the holes in the bat are a tad too small for the pin heads I have. What do I do?

I am reluctant to answer as I am just a student of the art, but I did experience the same thing. After every throw I would check the wing nuts and tighten just a bit. After the third throw I pushed down on the heads with moderate force and noticed they moved a bit. After the sixth throw, the heads were fully seated. I was not worried as it seemed to me on day one that the holes in the bat were accurate, only just a bit snug. I can only assume someone else has a better answer. But for this beginner, all worked out fine.
