Organic water- based
Does anyone know where i can find a organic color water- based ( white) and organic varnishes it will be for my bedroom floor , i want to reduce the toxic fume from the regular polyurethane.
Thanks

Read the product label. It will list the amount of VOC that produce the bad fumes, measured in g/L (gram per liter). The higher the VOC content, the worse the fumes.
In this case, VOC means "volatile organic compounds" and the "organic" part is not a good kind of organic.
Traditional formulas may have VOC levels in the 200 to 250 g/L range.
Water-based acrylic formulas may have VOC levels as low as 50 to 150 g/L range.
Janovic Plaza paint store has a lot of products including a water-based acrylic floor & porch paint I believe, or, you may also want to try the large hardware stores like Home Depot. Good luck!

We are thinking of using this whey based varnish by Vermont Natural Coatings:

I don't have any first hand experience with it yet.

The green depot does not have white water based.
