What is the best cement to use,as i see other m.f,g ornaments and they seem to be far more solid than mine

The main parameter which influences the strength of any concrete product is the water to cement ratio of the concrete. If you want to make strong and dense concrete, you have to use a low water to cement ratio.

To achieve a manageable or workable concrete with the reduced water to cement ratio, you can use a water reducing admixture (low, mid or high range) in the concrete. The water reducing admixture will compensate for the lack of fluidity in the mix caused due to the lower water to cement ratio.
