Slime for mortar?

Gen.11:3 says,  “And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.”  I don’t know about you but I sure wouldn’t use slime for mortar.  It is way to slippery.  Building something as large as the Tower of Babel out of slime would be a bad idea.  This being said I think God didn’t have to make them all have different languages, the slime would have made it slide apart.   Better use nothing at all, like the Egyptians.  I don’t think the writer of this was a mason.
