To those who have used Quickrete Quikwall Surface Bonding Cement, the question of the thread is almost as simple as the title line. How thick did you apply it? The official directions on Quickrete's website are in the range of 1/8". My (current) design calls an extremely weather/water proof surface (more so than even a typical igloo). I'm curious how thick I can build this stuff up.
...and yes, I'm aware of the acrylic fortifier, I'll use it as well.
Related question: from what I can can tell the term stucco simply refers to sand/portland or sand/lime (or sand/portland/lime). I believe I read somewhere that SBC is the same thing but with fiberglass fibers. My question is, SBC is advertised as relatively waterproof. I don't see how fiberglass fibers can do that? I would imagine they only add structural strength, it's not like they are dense enough in the cement to absorb/block/repell water that is penetrating the cement.
Thanks.
