Hi christie,
Whatever form you use as you know, the fit has to be perfect. To sculpt smooth, with NO ridge, try it like I do in 2 stages.
First bead place in front of the free edge on the form and ONLY push it up to the free edge to make your template and to form your shape. Keep this layer very thin as it is only going to be your guide for the 2nd bead.
Second bead will form your new smile-line as normal, blending the rest of the bead out on to the template to the free edge. Same as you would apply to a tip.
This method creates absolute smoothness as you are not forcing any product underneath the free edge on the first bead, and then you are laying your 2nd bead on the top after the first bead has hardened. No squidging (a new technical term)
Hope you find this method works for you.
