Hardi say you can skim their cement boards but Aquapanel say you must use their own special & probably expensive plaster.What thickness backer board should I use?Cement backer board comes in two standard thicknesses, 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch. The industry standard is to use 1/2-inch-thick backer board on wall tile installations, such as a tub surround.
