Sometimes I leave it if it flows with the rest of my pot, but I'm not seeing that flowing too much right now with the rest of the pot. So I'm going to straighten it out. Push down that, you don't want to get a lot of fingerprints in . Just use the flat part of your hand to push it. I could take the edge of my finger or tool and wipe that up. I have to deal with the inside of that to make that flow. So I would just push that in. I would probably get a wooden tool and really work on that after I'm done with this rough edge here. I'm going to leave this somewhat sharp. I could let it stay like that and that could be my finished picture, or I could pull it out a little bit. Which I'm going to try doing that. I'm going to put my fingers here like with that traditional pitcher I did. I pulled it out. This is just stretching it a little bit and giving it a little bit more of a curve.
