David,

It will bond to the 1/2" thk. cement board, Durock or Hardibacker board. The cement board does the job of the metal lath in this case.

Jonathan without the lath how do keep the plaster on the wall whick is the purpose of the lath.

The coating would stand up to abuse on plaster better than it would on drywall. I have seen it done with split face CMU. It was applied thick enough to smooth out the irregularities on the concrete surface.

I have seen this too, rest stop on freeways & public park bathrooms come to mind.

I like the idea of being able to use cement board over a moisture barrior w/ a 5/8" stucco application over with a smooth finish coat and coating as you discribe above.

Something that is cleanable and able to hold up to exposure to urine.

Thank you for your input!!

The budget is so tight the contractor can't make it work with ceramic tile, and I prefer this system over FRP
