Portand is the cheap stuff- like the $6 Quikrete bag at Home Depot. CSA is more expensive, but also available at Home Depot- look for the "Rapid Set" brand (Rapid Set Cement All is like $28 a bag).
It's kind of awesome, it's so fast you can sculpt vertically with it. You use more water with it than Portland, it starts out more mud-like. It tends to be preferred for repairs.

- aidenn0 4y agoThere are many, many, types of cement. Another common type of cement that people are probably familiar with is asphalt (a.k.a bitumen).
- LegitShady 4y agoThere are many types of even just portland cement, or portland cement with additives. Early strength development, sulfate resistance, air entrainment (trapping little bubbles of air in the concrete so that it cracks less in freeze thaw cycles), different heats of hydration, etc.
