When molding a bottle with the cap off, make sure bottle is filled with water and tightly corked. Apply Seal-Dit on top of cork to prevent CopyFlex from bonding to it. Measure height of bottle and add ½ inch. This will be the pour height of your CopyFlex. Measure and mark the inside of Tube-It with permanent marker to the height calculated. Apply Seal-Dit to the inside of Tube-It to prevent CopyFlex from bonding to the porous surface. Wipe excess Seal-Dit away with towel. Inside surface of Tube should be smooth with a slight gloss. Step : 9 Center Tube-It around bottle. Step :10 Fill the bottom indentation of the bottle with Safe-D-Clay and cut it flush and completely level with a sharp knife. Most bottles have a seam. Mark the seam line where it intersects the bottom of bottle on both sides of the bottle. Press bottle down firmly on a solid non-porous work surface. Apply downward pressure until Anchor-Dit “smooshes” out the sides around the entire perimeter of bottle bottom. Wipe away all excess Anchor-Dit with a towel. Wipe all fingerprints, dirt and smudges off the bottle with a soft, clean towel. Make the bottle as shiny as possible. Do not touch bottle after it has been cleaned. Step : 5 Step : 6 Apply Anchor-Dit (about 1/16th inch) evenly on the bottom of the bottle.

Apply a generous bead of hot glue around the outside bottom of the Tube-It where it meets the work surface in order to establish a tighter seal and to prevent possible leakage. This step should be done before applying a clay seal with Safe-D-Clay.

    To insure that no leakage occurs, place a heavy book or weight on top of Tube-It after it has been �lled with CopyFlex. This creates a downward force on the tube-It creating the tightest seal possible.
