How do you make the joint/socket for a Glyos custom short run?

Hi All!
Trying to get educated on making custom Glyos heads and parts, and have three big questions.
1. If one is fortunate enough to get Matt's blessing to produce a small run (or just a one-off), what does the "male" joining part consist of? Is it a resin casting of the "male" Glyos joining part then glued to the original sculpt and then recast to form a whole piece, or just a generic post of some kind sculpted to the part (then recast) that just fits in the "female"/socket? I've seen many pics of short run resin heads and pieces, but never a pic of what's actually joining them to the Glyos bodies.
2. What about the process of making the "female"/socket on parts for a small run or one-off?
3. When using resin to cast up the arms, heads, weapons, etc, what is most often used, a hard grade resin, or a a somewhat flexible type to match the flexibility of the original Glyos pieces they will be attached to?
I would like to hear as many different opinions as you all would be willing to share. Pics would be great, too.
Thanks!
