Actually, the ones I've used have an insert that makes a hole in the jig when it's poured. After it cools and you've painted it, you glue in the brush or weed guard. Some guys that make them will (upon request) send you the weed guards separately so that you can powder paint them with the colors you want, then you can glue in the guard yourself.
