I am attempting to cast a resin Buddha head. My challenge is the shape of the bottom of the head. It is not flat so that silicone will flow under it. Any idea what I can use to fill the gap? Tape? TIA

What I have used in situations like this is a small amount of modeling clay on the bottom or to suspend/hang the piece that I am making a mold of from the top.....use CA (super glue) to attach a tooth pick to the piece to be molded and then use my elevated clamp holder to hold the tooth pick with the attached piece aprox. a 1/4" off of the bottom of the mold box.
