You will be bonding the brick veneers solidly to a loose layer of stucco
that will eventually fall off due to the weight of the brick along with
time.

om...
I am having a problem with soft stucco bulging and peeling off my
house (Los Angeles) from soil level to 18 inches, where there is a
planter. I had let sprinklers and fountain splash hit the house in
the problem spots.

Well, I have redirected the sprinklers and would like to cover the
area with brick veneer. "The man at the brick yard told me"
(familiar, right?) that I could cover the stucco with Thinset and
directly apply the thin bricks to it. Here's my problem... in some
areas, I've completely peeled away the stucco, exposing cement, in
other areas there is a very bumpy 1/4 inch high stucco layer which may
or may not peel off later. I'm afraid to start applying the Thinset
until I know if I'm doing the right thing here. Can you help me with
some experience/advice?
