i have a crawl space that smells. it appears to be dry. and it smells musty.

I have aapllied 20 mil poly on the dirt floor. And it still smells. I want to seal the odor. the walls are cynder block 3 feet high. Than dirt floor covered with 20 mil poly, Then floor joists above.

 I was thinking about sealing the cinder block walls and wood joists.

Is it best to use oil based or water based sealer?   And what product would you recomend?

Thank you so much. I have been nuts with smelling the must.
