Sealing bulkhead panels for shower

[Strettonman 2]

I’ve just built the walls for my barhroom and plan to use wetwall panels for the shower cubicle. 
what should I treat the inside walls with prior to sticking on the acrylic panels ? 
I was contemplating getting a big Tin of marine varnish but will this impact on the effectiveness of the panel adhesive ? 
any ideas or advice ? 
 

cheers

I used nothing, call again in another 10 years to discover the result!

I took extra care to prevent capillary action in the floor-level joints in the belief that water does not always travel downwards.

Only been done for 6 months though, so can't comment on the longevity of it.
