" Now the shape of the outside of it does not matter a whole lot because I'm going to be trimming that. The inside though I'm going to still compress just like if I where making a pot bottom because it can crack. There's a little spiral in there, I'm going to double check this and see if I've ,oops left a little lump in there. This should fit just like that , that's fine it goes right over it. Just soften that a little bit . Now to get this pot off or this lid off the bottom of it is up here and where I want to cut is down here because I want to, I want to make sure I can lift this off without it warping and if the bottom is to thin when I lift it it's going to warp and also a lot of times when you cut something off the hump it gets a little crooked so my , my best suggestion for you is to really watch one side of the wire like , like don't , don't sit there and look at the top of the pot really look at the wire that your pulling through and you could spin the pot and just keep watching that wire and it comes off somewhat evenly and then this will be turned upside down once it's leather hard and I'll trim this all this part away and that will fit onto to the onto the top of here."
