Tom,
I sprayed my Brahin with VCI then dried & coated it in lacquer its been fine over a year later. With Brahin it seems to depend on where abouts in the original mass your piece is from, some pieces are completely stable without protection others rust even with! I would say that if you have a piece that still rusts after a few weeks even when treated, then you have nothing to loose by experimenting! Lacquers still let a small amount of air and water in, so good pretreatment with NaOH and drying in alcohol followed VCI and OVEN and then good Lacquer, also storage in a dessicated display box, is about all you can do, failing that start saving for a new piece! Btw - avoid touching the bare surface with your fingers that seems to be where the rust first starts.
