Using your left hand, rock the clay back toward you, so that it is standing on the one or two inch tail of clay left after the first step. Apply a bit of rightward and downward pressure with the left hand as you bring the clay back. The pressure you use should be less than what your right hand had just applied.
As your left hand rolls the clay onto its tail and compresses down and to the right, the original tip of the cone will drift to the left and the tail should rumple up under the cone.
Repeat steps one and two for twenty to fifty cycles, until the clay is completely homogenized and air-pocket free.
