Default RE: Final word on silk and dope?

Guys: Due to a serious headache problem traditional aircraft dopes are out of the picture. Would anyone have thoughts/comments on whether or not I could use clear water-base MinWax PolyC to seal the wood framework on my plan build, electric powered, Midwest Tri-Squire, and also use the PolyC to attach the silk and seal the weave. This would allow me to avoid the fumes of traditional model dope and then I'd paint the trim on with something like Warbird colors water-base paint. Thanks!

Soft landings.
