Just about any spray could work for single sided through hole boards
provided it was applied ∗∗after∗∗ soldering. I used to use Phenolic
boards, Cool-Amp (silver coating) and Krylon clear spray, here is an

The Cool-Amp wasn't necessary but the silver coating looked better
than bare copper. Why would you want to apply the Shellac before
soldering for single sided through hole boards?
