He showed the mold being upside down over the bucket. That way, the excess material comes out and only the sides are coated. It works the same way as it does with chocolate molds.
I'm not liking that you did some editing you not showing how you made the registration mark doesn't help when someone is trying to learn the whole process
Do you think it's possible the camera didn't work for some reason. This process takes many many hours. I'm just thankful they provided what they did for FREE!!
You can always take a small ball and press it into the clay to make indents for the registration marks. Then follow the rest of the steps they show. Hope this helps.
