Looking to wrap my exterior chimney chase with a antique thin brick (1/2" thick). What is the best type of substrate to use? The current structure has steel siding, and I'd rather not have to replace the cap/venting/etc....so depth needs to be considered.
Can I use 1/4" cement board or would it be better to wrap plywood in tar paper and metal lath and do a scratch coat? Other?
