Hey all. Installing a pedestal woodstove that does not require a hearth protection for fire, just ember. So here is what I am wanting to do..
My wood stove is a corner install where I ripped out an old factory fireplace. I have since put 1/2" plywood down and 1/2" cement board on top of that. I am wanting to make a "concrete pad" look without adding the weight of concrete. So after some research and reading I found a product called Henry's Feather Finish which is troweled on. I see a lot of folks making countertops out of this product. I want to add several layers to the cement board to give it that look. Will it be strong enough, no cracking or breaking? Or should I go with a concrete resurfacer self-leveling type product?
The area is about 32sqft and will not be walked on much as it is a corner and just where the stove will be sitting. Thanks.
