Default sealing damp-stained ceiling before redecoration

Good afternoon,
What is the best thing for sealing yellowish damp stains on a plaster
ceiling before applying emulsion? Is an oil-based undercoat ok?
Thanks

If its damp you fix the leak and wait till its dry, any oil or shellac
product should block the stain

IME thats usually good enough, but not every time. But then thats true
of more spcialised stain blockers too. if you get a blocking failed
situation you just have to sandwich paint layers.
