I just used a soy-based stain and sealer from Eco Procote to seal a and
exhibit made from bamboo plywood.  I don't know if it's suitable for a
flooring or hi-stress application, but I'm pretty happy with it.  They
offer several types of products.

Greetings everyone,

I'm wondering if any of you can recommend a no- or low-VOC paint and
sealant/topcoat that we could use to cover an exhibit made primarily of
wood. The paint and sealant have to be tough enough to withstand kids
climbing in and out of the exhibit.

We're pretty 'green' when it comes to greening exhibits, so your expert
advice is appreciated!

Thanks,
Michele Kloda
