What is cement fondue?
Cement Fondue has a different composition to "normal" cement - it has a high aluminum content; cures to full strength in 24 hours without any shrinkage or cracking, and is heat-proof. Cement fondue is a cement that sets in about six hours but begins to become solid in a much shorter time depending upon the mixture and air drying time. A mixture of two parts sand to one part fondue and one part water is a recommended mix. Sculptures made from this product are durable and lightweight if built over an armature.

The higher the amount of hydraulic cement you add, the quicker the setting time and the impermeability. However, hydraulic cement sets so quickly that you have limit the amount of total mix so as to be able to pour it and form it before it sets.
