Hi - I'm getting ready to put the cement board on the housing for my oven.

I'm trying to decide if I should use a fiber reinforced surface bonding cement on the blocks or if I should run cement board down the surface of the block and finish with traditional stucco.

Has any one had any issues with stucco or fiber bonding cement cracking on a dry stack foundation?

I figure the fiber reinforced bonding cement may contain the block enough so it will not crack if I use it on the inside and outside of my block foudnation.

Thanks

Christo
