How to handle chalice overgrowing plug?

I often seen chalices where I can see the contour of the plug that it started on. I prefer to have a nice flat plate contour. I have a chalice that is just starting to overgrow its plug and am having that dilemma. Is there any type of clay, molding compound that I can encorporate the plug into so it can continue to grow seamlessly where you can't detect it was on a plug? I could also attempt to scrape it off the plug and reglue it to a larger flat rock that allows for more growth. What do ppl usually do?

 

yes there is, you can use it as a coral glue or mold kind of, its reef safe and can use it for this purpose as well, look up this stuff, "Epo putty"

 

lol sounds like a fairly good problem

 

I like to build up epoxy around the plug so it has somewhere to go besides just growing down.

 

I'll try using the tube of Waterweld that I bought and never used.

 

Epoxy, or drill a rock and stick it in the hole.

 

I would see if it’s possible to get the frag off the plug imo. I think that would be the easiest option out there so far.

Would it be possible?

 

Can I just use a razor blade and scrape it off since it's still mostly on the flat portion of the plug?

 

Actually chalices prefer to grow on an angle. So they grow faster downward. Usually I mount the plug on something and let it grow down over it and then let a few eyes grow. Then you remove the plug from the center of the colony and it fills back in.
