After it is cured you take the mold box off and invert it. Then remove the clay from what is now the top of the mold and the clay from the hollow area. Do not disturb the original piece that is still in the mold.
You then mix up more mold material and pour it into where the clay came out of (this forms a cap for the mold with a spike that goes into the area where the spring will go. Will look like this: Attached image(s)
