Sculptcrete
WHAT IS SCULPTCRETE?
A scientifically formulated enhanced fibre-cement blend. Contains no hazardous materials and is suitable for interior or exterior use. Has superior workability and provides a smooth, weather resistant finish that can be carved when biscuit hard. Will allow very fine, detailed carving. Suitable for building up three-dimensional details.
Benefits
- It will retain a shape even when very wet
- It will take an extremely delicate carving and can be built up in layers
