First i'd ask why you need to seal your work, especially if it's safe
in display boxes.
The first and best sealer is shellac, orange or clear. It also works
as a glue for plaster.
I prefer an acrylic paint for concrete which they stopped making! but
it's an elastomeric, waterbased acrylic. I am looking around to see
who else makes such a formula. i love it because it shows all the
texture and is easy to tint myself. i add colors and metal powder too.
