          Application No. 09/093,185                                                  

          1.  A waterproofing laminate material free of loose particulate             
          material consisting essentially of:                                         
          a flexible, porous carrier sheet laminated to a waterproofing               
          sheet which is formed by extrusion under vacuum from a                      
          substantially homogenous [sic, homogeneous] deformable mass                 
          consisting of a mixture of particulate smectite clay and a                  
          liquid, in which respect the clay is in a range from 50% to 75%             
          by weight of the mixture and the liquid comprises water in a                
          range from 10% to 30% by weight of the mixture.                             
          15.  A method of making a waterproofing laminate material                   
          consisting essentially of the steps of mixing a particulate                 
          smectite clay with a liquid to form a mixture, said mixture                 
          containing clay in a range from 50% to 75% by weight and water in           
          a range 10% to 30%, kneading said mixture in a high speed, high             
          shear mixer to form a substantially homogeneous deformable mass,            
          forming said mass by extrusion under vacuum into a waterproofing            
          sheet, and laminating said sheet with a flexible, porous, carrier           
          sheet to form a laminate structure free of loose particulate                
          material.                                                                   
               24.  A waterproofing material free of loose particulate                
          material, consisting essentially of a waterproofing sheet which             
          is formed by extrusion under vacuum from a substantially                    
          homogeneous deformable mass consisting of a mixture of                      
          particulate smectite clay and a liquid, in which respect the clay           
          is in a range from 50% to 75% by weight of the mixture and the              
          liquid comprises water in a range from 10% to 30% by weight of              
          the mixture.                                                                
               25.  A waterproofing material free of loose particulate                
          material, consisting essentially of a waterproofing sheet which             
          is formed by extrusion under vacuum from a substantially                    
          homogeneous deformable mass consisting of a mixture of                      
          particulate smectite clay and a liquid, in which respect the clay           
          is in a range from 50% to 75% by weight of the mixture and the              
          liquid comprises water and an organic material in a range from              
          10% to 30% by weight of the mixture.                                        



                                          2
