Can polyurethane go over oil base paint?

Yes, you can put polyurethane paint over eggshell in latex or eggshell in oil.
Can polyurethane be sprayed over an item painted with acrylic paint?
Yes, both oil and water-based polyurethanes will adhere well to an item coated with acrylic paint. If it is a polyurethane paint, dull the surface prior to painting. If it is a clear. realize that that oil based polyurethane will impart an amber hue while a water based polyurethane is crystal clear and will not affect the color.
What paint is best to use on a wood toy box when you plan on putting polyurethane over the entire thing when it is completed?
I use oil base enamel with oil base polyurethane. Tip: Make sure you allow it to dry completely before you apply top coat. Good luck.
Anyone have any results using Cabot Australian timber oil on a new IPE deck?
Cabots Timber Oil has been a fine product for our clients over the years, but after extensive testing, comparison, and evaluation, (and a few similar problem jobs) I am encouraging our clients to consider One Time Wood Protector as a superior alternative to the outdated oil base technology of Timber Oil. The problems with traditional oil finishes are magnified with exotic hardwood like Ipe. Ipe is already full of natural oils and is extremely dense. One TIME overcomes and eliminates many of the drying issues and long term buildup issues of traditional oil base wood stains like Timber Oil. One TIME contains neither water nor paint thinner, and is 100% solids in liquid form. One TIME cures with UV exposure. Below is a related link to an article from our "go to" guys for deck care advice.
