I'm going to hold on until I have sometime to dedicate to it so I don't have to rush anything.
You will have a tough time getting anything to stick if you had a lot of moisture. I would suggest snap lock flooring or nothing. If you find a coating that will stick let me know, the building industry has been looking since they made asbestos unavailable. Many older buildings had somewhat damp floors with cutback adhesive and vinyl asbestos tile (VAT). The asbestos fibers passed moisture thru the VAT and cutback adhesive and therefore the things would stick, put a modern solid vinyl tile down over a low VOC adhesive and you have a gooey mess and loose tile. Best of luck.
