If you dont care about aesthetics you can use 10 min epoxy on porcelain but to be even more cautious it would be better to replace the whole toilet

Hey do you self a favor, just leave that box alone!
just cut in a new box a few inches away at the same height and run yourself a new romex 12-2 and put it on a new 20amp breaker you’ll have your dedicated circuit and you’ll have the original still intact if that doesnt work for you then take existing box out of the wall and put in a two gang box put existing circuit back together on 1 side and your new 20amp circuit on the other.

You don’t drill a hole to bring it into the adjacent cabinet you bring the wire back through the drywall to come through the back of the adjacent cabinet then with a power cord you run the the bottom corner of the adjacent cabinet back to the dishwasher. The romex that is there shouldn’t be left exposed to possible damage.

Yes but alway consult the instructions there are ways to safely cover downlights with insulation – in the form of IC rated lights. An IC rating indicates that the light is suitable to come into contact with your building insulation. In other words, an IC rated light can be adjoined and directly covered with insulation. Though, you should still always consult your manufacturer’s instructions to avoid any potential fire hazards.

He probably didn’t realize the cans were IC rated, thinking he would need to create a 1’-5 sides box out of 1/4” mesh to keep the insulation away from the cans was thing it would take a lot of extra time! please for the love of what ever you believe in, make sure you read the instructions for you cans that they can be installed with insulation surrounding them as most can say its a no go for warranty purposes as it traps heat!
