Not sure how long Surface Bonding Cement has been around but I think this is something people are going to have to start thinking about before stripping mortar and other finishes from block.
I guess a mortar joint between each block would be the quickest way to tell if you are dealing with a traditionally built wall or these new Quikwall drystack versions.
If it is SBC (unlikely but becoming more common) you definitely don't want to remove it, as it is structurally significant.
