Was reading this article and found it quite interesting that the author recommends using silicone to adhere cultured marble to CBU.....you guys down with this?

"If you use cultured marble, paint the cement board with a high grade 100 percent acrylic white primer. Allow it to dry for 3 days. Then use clear 100 percent silicone caulk to attach the cultured marble to the cement board. This will insure that you do not have colored shadows that show through the cultured marble."

He's been discussed plenty of times on various internet forums.. Usually people are having trouble with the "professional advice" he's offering.

The only way to work with cultured marble is to make sure to get it all in the bin at the dump.
