I think that the "concrete" you are referring to is a product by DAP called weldbond or weldwood . . . someone else around here will be able to tell you more precisely, but I believe it is actually a plastic polymer product rather than a concrete.
Another option that is relatively easy to pull off with good results is the Great Stuff background with a substrate siliconed in place. Check out Black Jungle for a step-by-step for the process.
Good luck,

I used a mixture of water/Weldbond/peat/coconut fiber/sphagnum over Great Stuff. The Weldbond can be found at Ace Hardware (I had no luck at Lowes and HD). Weldwood is a different product and I am unsure if it can be used. I am EXTREMELY happy with with the results I had. My epiphytes are rooting into the background and it is holding up to constant drip features.

The product I use is simply called concrete primer and bonding additave. I have some details about how I used it at my image gallery: imageevent.com/audiomaster/40gallonhexagon/ Let me know if you have any further questions. Talk to you later.
