Default Quick Dry Mortar

Has anyone ever used quick dry mortar from Vivarium concepts? It seems interesting. Im wondering how heavy this stuff becomes though.

Here is the link to the product I'm talking about.

I used a bunch of it...It's extremely expensive and it sets in seconds so you don't really have much time to work with it...The reaction is also very exothermic and the mud becomes hot. I made a waterfall feature and then I painted it with acrylic paints to blend it a bit as it was cement gray when cured.

It's not that heavy though... at least I don't remember it being heavy. I got an email from Terra5Designs few weeks ago and they said that they have a new and more improved version of the mortar now. I think it's cheaper too...You may want to talk to Deven at Terra5Designs.com He is the one that makes this stuff
