KILZ And Ceiling Water Stains ?

Hello,
A few fairly light to medium orange water stains have developed on our
white bathroom ceiling due to water dam. The typical problem.
A bit on in age now, and I would like to have to re-paint the ceiling
only once, if practical. It's a real job for me to do nowadays.
I know the smart way is to coat the stains with, I think I read to use
shellac (?), and then a white paint. This is supposed to prevent
additional bleed-thru.
Is there any product I can use that stands a good chance of doing it in
one coating/step ?
What about this KILZ I've heard about ? Would that do it in a single step
and prevent further bleeding thru of the stain
(assuming no more water leakages) ?
I think there are also similar products under different names, perhaps ?
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
IMO, Kiltz is krap.
Forget the Kilz and fork over the cash for the original Bins, a shellac
based white stain killer. Normally covers completely in on rolled on
coat. Really heavy stains may take two.
I have killed water stains, smoker stains and heavy fire smoke damage
with a single coat.
Sold at Lowes for about $25 a gallon. May be at Home Depot also.
Open the windows or the alcohol base will make you high. Throw away the
roller or clean with denatured alcohol.
