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 
example;

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?
