"All right we're ready to finish up this show you bottle. We're going to come back to that olive bottle and we're going to put a really nice handle on it. Clean up some of them fingerprints. Get that guy back on track. He's a little dirty but he'll be fine. So take the tool cause we don't want to put fingerprints all over everything and then just so lightly. Just like that and then you can go in there and the better the connection here so it looks like it grew on this. You don't want it to look like you want it be a part of it not an attachment. So the better you can get these connections more esthetically pleasing it's going to be. Then you want to get this might work and to get an edge somewhere. So we can get and I'll just use the edge of this right there and then you can get in to those little cracks there. So it really looks like it's all one. Doesn't really matter too much to the overall piece but it's just one of those things that I like to do and all right. Well that guys almost done but I'm just going to let him chill cause I got it all wet form this sponge. So I'm going to let it do its thing. I'm going to return to this olive oil bottle."
