A few people have asked for detail about the diluted Elmer's glue solution we used to seal the brick walls. Unfortunately, I didn't track the forum page where I found the idea (amongst a sea of posts debating pros and cons of commercially sold sealants), but I'm sure it's out there for the industrious surfer.
Can't swear to the exact proportions, but I know I used a 1/2 gallon sprayer so there was about that much warm water to either a 1/2 cup or a full cup of wood glue. I'm leaning toward the full cup. Honestly, I think this is very forgiving approach so it probably doesn't matter whichever way one goes.
Sorry I can't be more precise. Personally, I'm inclined toward using recipes and formulas to get this sort of thing "right". I'm an instruction-reader, and I'd be frustrated if I came across a handy solution that failed to provide adequate detail. On the other hand, what DIY task doesn't involve some personalization and decision-making? It's why we do this.
