Modelling material

It is called Hypertufa. Here is a site with info.

Brilliant. Thanks.

It sounds like you might be thinking of hypertufa. It’s a lightweight, porous material that’s great for making your own planters and troughs using a mold. Hypertufa is made from a mix of cement, peat moss, and perlite or sand, and it sets fairly hard while still being light enough to move around easily. It’s also durable and has a nice, rustic look that blends well in gardens. You can easily find recipes online, and it’s a fun DIY project if you’re into gardening and crafting!

these look really good

Thanks. Yes, I think this is the material I was thinking of. I thought it came as a ready made modelling material but looks like you have to make it yourself, which is fine as it’s probably cheaper that way. Thanks again.

Sorry that was for ashleykippel!

I will get round to making something like this one day.
It’s made from an old towel and concrete. I love them.
There are lots of other designs.

petra I have a horrible feeling that, if I tried to do that, it would end up just looking like an old towel soaked in concrete. It does look lovely though.

Thé towel idea is impressive!

I want the modelling material for my daughter who’s trying to make a small water feature with an added Solar fountain. Have tried looking at the ready made ones but the prices are crazy! I think the Hypertufa will do the trick.

Will it work for a water feature if it's porous?

Good point! Perhaps with a liner? Thanks for pointing that out.
