No. It's too risky as the oil does not mix well with water. Furthermore, most oil-based finishes have solvents that may react badly with any water-based products. The only product we offer that can bond to oil-based finishes is our AFM Transitional Primer. If you are trying to block VOC emissions, use 1-2 coats fo primer w/24 hours in between coats. Then 2 coats of AFM Zero VOC paint. Together the primer and paint will seal the off-gassing very well.
