Stain sealant

We have had a leak and the bedroom ceiling has a large stain. It is completely dry now and we've given it a coat of white paint but it's still very visable.
Should we seal it somehow? The mother-in-law has suggested gloss (we own Once Satinwood). Would I then need to lightly sand it after?

use a solvent based undercoat , if you have any or get some stain sealer
any water based paints will just result in the stain coming thru again0 -
Sorry, we're novices... Solvent based undercoat? We have some wood primer, but I assume you mean something else again?0

Solvent based (oil based) the type you can't wash the brushes with just water
Or use Zinnser cover up.

I would not use the satinwood, just get some Zinsser cover up, its only about £8... Then emulsion your ceiling..
