The caulk part is easy. Use DAP or other water based caulk.
Apply caulk to clean, dry surfaces. It is better practice to not
caulk the back side. Use a medium sized bead. If you have too
much it does not hurt, just harder to clean up and wastes the
material, but better too much than too little.. Completely wet a
large soft sponge. While the caulk is fresh before it develops a
film, wipe as much caulk off as you can. Continue wiping,
rinsing, sponging until you have the results you are after. Make
sure the caulk is completely removed from the floor and the shiny
part of the vitreous leaving only the caulk bead, any film left
will look tacky. Same method for setting self rimming sinks and
similar items. This allows water out to warn you of a failed
wax ring.

For the sheet flooring, spray adhesive is fast and easy. Make
sure to remove overspray with a touch of mineral spirits (easy
while it is fresh). I assume you are talking about a limited
area.

Seemed like an easy thing but getting a bead that looks
decent isn't that easy. Any suggestions?

The tile behind the toilet is coming up and looks like it
has been water damaged. Is there a good way to glue
the linoleum, not tile, down?

Thanks : -)
