Lisa R. Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I am going to put a stone veneer on the front of my house. The house is made of plywood. I have some grout but actually I am thinking of using wood filler as "grout" instead of real grout. What do you think? Lisa R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 hmmm dont know about the wood filler but the grout would work fine, i used real bathroom tile grout as stucco on my pizza place and it came out wonderfully, just seal it with a spray sealer once your done to prevent flaking.

Corwin Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Maybe dry wall mud mixed with sand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa R. Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 I thought I'd add some of my reasoning here. Firstly gout is a water based product and water and wood aren't usually good friends. I have a large area to cover. Now I have sealed the wood with an oil based primer but if this were the real world I would use a backer on the tile to protect the wood or I would use green board or cement board. Wood filler on the other hand is designed to work with wood, and since my stone veneer isn't really stone but a high density plaster, which is lighter in weight and closer to wood in density than say grout, I thought that material wise it might be a better match.
