The name Durabond is followed by a number indicating the setting time. I know 90 and 45 are available, they may have some faster ones. I haven't bought any in a while, but a 40 pound bag should be like under $10, and makes about 5 gallons. It is great for rock carving.

I paint the back with grey undercoat and the a light overspray of earth color. For the lines you could mask them and then paint with your air brush or spray paint. If you have a large enough piece you can lay it over the area you want and the cut the road or street out so that you have no joints. I have asked my local carpet store to save me some scraps from jobs they are doing.

It is softer and easier to carve or sand after it is dried.
