[papercreters] is this normal?

Remember my blender mix of paper/cement/lime that was supposed to be
waterproof because of the lime? Well, it's monsoon time in Silver
City, NM, and I just looked at the "block" and it actually breaks apart
like a stale cookie. My thoughts: it's only an inch thick; it had not
properly cured, if I had kept my hands off it and let it dry out it
might have been okay. Additionally - the block had been (sigh) dumped
in the back yard and been rained on for a number of days. I've checked
the formulas on the linked site, but I'm not sure which to use for a
waterproof/resistance block. Any suggestions?
