    Stucco-like finish on Hardibacker?
    I'm buildling an outdoor kitchen island and plan to side it with 1/4" hardibacker. It is on a 20 gauge steel frame and located on a rooftop deck, so weight is an issue. Can anyone suggest the ideal mix of products that meet these criteria (in order):

    1. Light weight
    2. Durable
    3. Attractive (Stucco-like appearance with color alternatives)
    4. Inexpensive


    Thanks in advance!

    Modified thinset should meet your requirements. It's the same stuff you'd use to mount floor and wall tiles to backerboard.
