What should I use to seal an outdoor project (vinyl, plastic, wood)?

It's a piece I'm making. It has vinyl, plastic and wood.It will be going outside in all weather conditions. The wood has had Thompson water seal used on it recently. The plastic is made to be outside. It's the vinyl I'm really concerned with. I want to make sure it never comes off, except with maybe a sander. Does anyone know of a clear sealant that I can use that's low to no fumes?

Hi, Melanie!
I'm not sure if there is a sealer that can be applied to vinyl, though you may be able to use outdoor Mod Podge. The main thing that is going to eat it up will be direct sun. If it is placed in an area where it is partial sheltered from the elements, it should be ok. I hope this helps!
What type of vinyl have you used? Is it hard, or is it flexible, more like a fabric with backing? How is it attached?
What purpose will the piece serve when it is outside?
