The cement is a dark gray color and has the consistency of warm peanut butter. It spreads nicely onto fire bricks and is easy to work with. When it dries, it has the same gray color, but slightly lighter.
The cement air dries in 1/2 hour or so, good enough to handle something that was cemented together, but to really CURE the cement needs to be heated.
For example, cementing one fire brick to another, after an hour of drying time, the two bricks can be (with considerable force) pulled apart. However, if the same setup is heated (I baked mine in the home oven at 500F. for a few hours) the same bricks will crack elsewhere before the joint fails.
In summary, this cement works great, it's easy to use, easy to apply and cleans up with water. It dries "well enough" to handle assembled items, but for a full strength cure, the cement must be heated.
(Added info 23 September 2014):
One important thing to know: Do not "scrape off" excess, partially dried cement from a trowel back into the container. The scraped off pieces will cure even with the cover on the tub, resulting in hard chunks mixed with good cement.
I suggest using a sheet of plywood or some other inexpensive, disposable item and scoop out the cement you need, then immediately cover the tub of cement. When you need more, scoop out more and re-close the tub.
Never put any unused cement back into the tub, or it will ruin the whole batch.
Another important thing: When this cement is not used for a while, the solids and liquids will partially separate, leaving tiny puddles of brown liquid on top of the gray cement. Do not dump this liquid out! Thoroughly re-mix up the cement and it will be fine.
Yet another important thing: This cement is highly alkaline (caustic - like lye or drain opener) when wet (uncured). If you get some on your hands and it stays there for a few minutes, you will know it because it will start to sting. This will not cause any injury, it just hurts a bit. So if you do get any on your skin, immediately wash it off with a lot of cool running water (or better yet wear gloves when working with the cement).
Note that the cement is NOT caustic and it is COMPLETELY safe once it is cured (dried). The fact that wet cement is caustic is not unique to this brand or item. Almost all "cement" type products (grout, concrete, etc...) are caustic when wet.
I cured it for 1 hour at 500 degrees and it became extremely hard and it matches the firebox color. I recommend for repairs on the big green egg.

I cured it for 1 hour at 500 degrees and it became extremely hard and it matches the firebox color. I recommend for repairs on the big green egg.
The product warnings are a little scary, but the product is a wet paste. No fine particles were flying around. It did require a little mixing, but that was expected and addressed on the packaging.
It sealed up the small gaps between the fireplace brick panels very easily. Once it was mixed, it went on like a thick paste. It did not slide down the vertical gaps. It stayed in place quite easily. Once the panels were squeezed together, the gaps were less than 1/8” just like the instructions recommend. Even though the product says it doesn’t need to cure, I let it sit for a day to dry. The next day I lit a fire with a duraflame log and let it burn out. There was no bubbling or anything else like some have complained of.
I suppose reading directions prior to use helps. 🤷🏻♂️
