Bryan, it's sticky and resistant to water. By the way, it was not the only thing used. Hydrated lime and sands were also added. They worked together to make the wall stand.

Bryan, hydrated lime and sand could make the wall much firmer. You know, hydrated lime can turn into lime carbonate, which is very solid. By the way, it is dampproof.
