I agree, never heard of lacquer to hlod down stains, only shellac. Instead
of the throw-away brush ( it's true, they are a pain to clean ) how about
spray shellac? I have used spray shellac sucessfully on stains on textured
ceilings as well as flat surfaces. It costs more in large quantities, but for
one stain, it's cheaper than can shellac and a throw-away brush.
