"OK, we'll go ahead and, we'll use your pinky, be better. Make a hole down in there, and just kind of throw it up like this and with the spouts, I found that if you make a, if you just make a cylinder and you make it really thin, as thin as you can possibly make it, when you go to collar it, it brings it to the proper thickness. So this will make sense once you do it. But make a really thin cylinder basically. And if the top up there is messing with your mind, just get rid of it. It's messing with mine. Make you off center. Clean it up a little bit. Thin it out, thin it out, thin it out, compress it and we go down in there, get a little bit of, just get it a little wet in there. Alright, thin, thin, thin, and remember, you don't really have to worry about the size. You can always cut it down. You just want to get this nice and thin. And then we're going to go in, and we're going to collar it up, and that's going to bring it to the proper thickness."
