Introduction
Drink stains—like coffee, wine, or tea—often leave deep, discoloured spots on walls or trim. Regular primers might partially hide these spills, but the discolouration frequently shows up later. SPO Shellac Stain & Odour Blocker delivers a heavy‑duty solution, sealing beverage pigments in a shellac resin that dries in 30 minutes, so you can quickly restore your space.
