Any chance you could post a drawing of what you are trying to accomplish?
Many ways to form/shape things, but without a clear picture of the project it is hard to help.
1.5" projection and 1.5" thick

foam cut to shape that will line your form.... done all the time in concrete countertops for a bull nose edge.... they have rubber forms just like the stamps used to stamp concrete... but they cost... the hot wire cut foam is a one shot use...

one method for making easy to remove keyways that would also work for making a poured shaped nosing would be to make the shape you want in styrofoam and incorperate it into the form
2 pieces of cove moulding tacked up in yer forms will do it in a pinch

Couple of ideas. I have used both.
That's a great idea!!
