It's very difficult to make this type of seal. When the cement is wet, the hydrogen easily passes through. I use a dangerous gas detector as I heat it up, but as yet, have not achieved a seal in experiments I've tried. A lot of the cement requires heating to fully cure, but heating causes hydrogen release. Your hydrogen escapes before the seal is made. Maybe Parkhomov figured out how to do it.
