Default '99 XJ won't crank and no electronics

So I gutted the interior to Herculine the floorboards and now for some reason I can't get any juice from the battery to crank or turn anything on (lights, radio, etc.). The battery is fine (reading 12.5V) and the connections are clean and tight, I just can't get anything to work.

Could it have been the water I used when spraying out the inside?

Any thoughts?

You probably answered your own question.
