Default Finishing Basement - best way to DIY waterproof

First, has anyone ever heard of glueing the barrier directly onto the
wall?

Second, what is the best sealer to use?

I live in PA for climate reference.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. I'll paste the
relevent parts of the report below.

Thanks,

Chuck


I am going to go along with those who suggest waiting a while and see
what happens . If you really have a problem, you will want to know about it
before you do any refinishing. If you really have a problem, the only real
fix is to attack it from the outside. You can't do it from the inside.

As for the question of high humidity, I suggest that serious ventilation
should be considered first. During the winter you want additional moisture
in most homes anyway, ventilate it from the basement.
