1-NAils or Liquid nail for 1/4 in Spanish Cedar
2- Caulking for Joints what do you recommend
Jam, I wouldn't use nails inside the box, if for no other reason, rust. Although you could use stainless steel but with the wood expanding and contracting, the nails are probably not the best idea.
Without seeing or knowing more about the box you are trying to line I would be just guessing to make suggestions on how I would attempt the project.
As for liquid nail or any other glue, check out the VOC info on the package. The higher the number, the more "odor" you will have IMHO. Obviously, that is not the reason for VOC info, but it has always been a good indicator for me.
As for caulking, I use a latex (paintable) silicone. You could use any nonhardening type that is made for damp or moisture laden applications. Such as most tub & tile or bath & kitchen types.
If your able to miter your plywood, you could edgeband the top of the plywood and line the inside of the box without using any fasteners. Just depends on the size of the project.
