Ray, > Is that the same as vinyl patching cement? No, as I understand it from Gary (and keep in mind I'm not a handyman in any way shape or form) "plastic" cement is the base cement componet of stucco. I purchase it at Lowes but I would think Home Depot or any major building supply would carry it. What I've found comes in 90lb bags and just says PLASTIC CEMENT on the bag. What makes this mountain building technique work is that by simply varing the amount of water mixed with the plastic cement you can get any consistancy you want. From thick pea soup for doing the burlap wrapping to a cake frosting consistancy to modeling clay consistancy for doing detail texturing work. Plastic cement sets up slowly as cements go which gives you plenty of time to work in the details for your mountain, tunnel, cliff or what have you. The result takes the latex base paint very nicely and that gives you a great base for acrylic colors to make your mountain look however you want. It's cheap and easy to work with in either large (like Gary's) or small (like mine) projects. In the PDF you can see pics of Gary's totally impressive Mountain Range that he and Chris Walas built using this technique. Best, TJ P.S. I should mention that this technique uses water and plastic cement only. No sand, rock, or other aggregate is added as in traditional cement mixing. TJ
