Have them use about 4 coats of shellac. This would be period, although 
costing a fortune for the times, and is easy, cheap and non-toxic. 
Another option would be the white pigmented shellac primers that are 
made by several companies.

BTW, 3# cut shellac and lamp black makes a pretty good black paint that 
sticks to almost anything.
