Nothing you do will be likely to keep the humidity out, and mold has become a major issue in the US housing market. The clear varnishes can be a mixed bag, instead of keeping moisture out they often keep it in. If you do decide to go forward make sure that the room is well ventilated. Also look into fungicides that can be mixed into the glue or paint, they definetly help. Your local wallpaper specialty shop (not DIY's like Lowe's or Home Depot) should be your first stop. They usually can give some good advice, especially in yur already humid clime.</blockquote>
