 just the cob, or does it need to have some sort of coating?

???  Cob is Mud and Straw mixed together and dried as building material.  As a
Cistern??  A water holding structure??  

Maybe you are asking about the 1/3 rd Lime to Earth Mixture to stablize earth
into a sort of Roman Cement?

Cobbers can correct me if I am in error.  Be gentle please <G>
