Hav you tried using Set Material?

Create a material, choose the shader (in the drop down list) and then assign material either beforehand or at runtime with 'set material'.

I'm a noob, but I think that "2D" in Unity is usually a 3D object with a texture/material of a image of a 2D sprite, so when you apply the shader it changes the texture/material and your 2D sprite disappears with it.
I'm guessing it is not really a Playmaker problem, but probably the way the shader was programmed.

Hi,

 You simply can't, Unity doesn't work like that. Shaders belongs to materials, so if you want to change a GameObject shader, you have to switch material.

bye,
