Default [IBC] Ciment Fondu

I wouldn't think that the high-alumina would be necessary for making
fake rocks. I understand why it's good for making slabs (though i've
done without it). For fake rocks - try hypertufa ... easily made from
portland cement, peat moss or finely ground bark and sand or pearlite.
The nice thing about hypertufa is after a year or so, moss will grow
on it, and i don't think the high alumina stuff is going to do that.

Hi,
I am looking for a ciment fondu seller in the Maritimes (Canada).
The ciment is used to make bonsai landscapes. (fake rocks)

Any info would be appreciated.
Larfarge makes an excellent product, which I have used with success. I am
not familiar with Maritimes.

Cordially,

Michael Persiano
