Insulating a crawl space in termite country |

We used an adhesive (in a caulk tube) when installing 6 mil plastic sheeting in crawl spaces oh HfH houses to seal the ground for the passive radon abatement system. The adhesive glued the plastic to poured concrete and also sealed overlapping sheets together.
We applied the adhesive to the wall and pressed the plastic to the bead of adhesive. That was also used to seal around water/waste/etc lines buried in the crawl spaces.
Was so long ago, I cannot remember what it was, but it passed inspections and we did more than 80 houses that way.

Finish for light wood |

If you want what you see unfinished color when finished, you're going to have to go to the water-based acrylics. They have their faults - chief of which is a certain haze and blue tint - depending on manufacturer. One of the cultural things we have come to expect is warm ambering of wood objects. So I use wipe-on poly, The Minwax product, which seems to feature modified soy, an oil which yellows less than the classic linseed, and is less stinky and has no haze like tung-based stuff. Reasonable compromise.
