From: Patricia L. MacKenzie 

According to a US Naval book(let) on cement types, I am sure I recall reading of a totally waterproof cement made...

Some of these waterproofing techniques are polybase and would not allow a cob wall to breathe. But the water base coatings is something you ask  them about.

my masonry instructor in the 70's taught us how to pour footings for hydro electric plants for homes. but forgot it all ha
sorry.
