Okay, nothing is impervious but you want to get it super sealed. we did a ton of research and ended up choosing Waterlox. we have no affiliation with the company, it is just plain awesome.
Read the Waterlox directions several times and then follow them exactly. The basics are just to apply once every 24 hours for several days so that you end up with 5-6 coats of Waterlox on your shelf. Apply to the top and bottom and all sides. Really any exposed surface. we applied mine to all 6 sides plus the insides of each hole. We used foam brushes, and a new one for each application. They worked great and we wouldn’t use anything else. we also applied this stuff outdoors because it is pretty noxious.
How do i mount the cabinet to the wall? A good cabinet installation starts with a good layout. Measure from the highest point in the floor and draw a level line marking the top of the base cabinets. Measure up 19-1/2 in. from that line and draw another line for the bottom of the upper cabinets. Label the location of the cabinets and appliances on the wall. Draw a vertical line to line up the edge of the first cabinet to be installed. Finally, mark the stud locations.
Shim Large Bows Most of the time you can shim the cabinets as you go, but if there's an extreme bow in the wall (more than 3/8 in.), shim it out before you hang the cabinet. If you don't, you may accidentally pull the back off the cabinet while fastening it into place. Hold a level across the wall, and slide a shim up from the bottom (go in from the top when you're doing the top side) until it's snug. Then pin or tape it into place.

Take that measurement and make a pencil mark on your filler strip (measure over right to left in this case). Clamp the filler onto the cabinet flush with the inside of the vertical rail. Measure over from the wall to your pencil mark, and make a scribing block that size. Use your block to trace a pencil line down the filler strip.
Fasten the Back, Then Shim Line up the base cabinets with the level line on the wall. Fasten the back of the cabinets to that line. Once the backs of the cabinets are level, use shims to level the sides. Take your time on this step—nobody likes to have eggs roll off a slanted countertop.

projects. It adheres well to most surfaces. The advantage of elastomeric caulk is that it can expand and contract up to 200%. This is a great advantage when trying to seal areas that undergo expansion and contraction in various weather. Although this product can be painted, if there is a lot of expansion and contraction, the paint will inevitably crack. This is not the fault of the product but the nature of the project. Asphalt Caulk is oil based.
