It's hydroscopic - absorbs water.

Not exactly what you would want for a waterproofer.

I understand that but doesn't it become waterproof when it's cured? I
haven't tried it but that stuff seems to go into porous surfaces very
easily.

No, over time exposure to water will destroy the strength of the bond.
