Fibergum?? Portland cement mixture?

Anyone hear of using a material named Fibergum with portland cement for a compound used over Oakum in recaulking wood hulls? Where would I find this on the west coast or interior of Canada and what other products are out there that serve the same purpose?

shenam

As an apprentice I used to have to mix something from memory called shenam for paying of the seams of a degauzing lighter, it was fishoil & lime mixed & would get a bit warm on manufacture, we'd stir it up with an electric drill with like a dough hook for a bit in the afternoon for next day use, closest thing I can think of in that application.
