[IBC] Ciment Fondu
Hi Kevin. You graciously write,
Don't forget to add the magic ingredient - a proportion of Ordinary Cement, or the rapid set is not achieved When my bonsai club created a ciment fondue slabs, they set for at least 24 hours. We might well have used Portland cement-- I would guess that we did. Is there advantage to rapid-setting other than being "rapid?" Perhaps 24 hour setting is rapid though it would seem painfully slow for curing our thin pours. It was a great club project for team building. Every detail had its importance. The product was awesome-- really satisfying. Too good for my poor bonsai. I've been enjoying the slab for years as a garden element which has wonderful seasons. Lichen love it! The sand we used was carefully selected-- sharp & relatively fine, as I recall. That seemed IMPORTANT at the time as well as not adding too much water. I'd jump at the opportunity to create another. Best wishes, Chris... C.
