I spoke with  the people that make the Bullseye Shellac you mention, about
using it as a sealer.  They recommended testing it on scrap first under your
desired finish because they do not guarantee it is free of wax-the natural
wax found in shellac.  They told me about a new product coming out that is
guaranteed to work under finishes as as sealer because it is 100% wax free.
It's now available at homebuilding stores like Menard's, Home Depot, etc.  I
use it on plates before bronzing and under waterbased lacquer.  It's a 2
pound cut, so very thin. My guess it will be out in spray cans soon.
