>>>Acrylics do not adhere well to oil films.<<<

Despite what you may have read, actual tests prove the reverse. Another thing for you to read (after making the tests) is what Ralph Mayer has to say on the subject.

Oil primers are highly regarded in industrial applications of water-soluble acrylic paints whereas oil over acrylics causes problems in outdoor applications (which is just a speeded up version of the destruction that takes centuries to accomplish with artistic applications).

Make a few tests. Paint some acrylic over a CLEAN and DRY oil surface. Allow the acrylic a week to cure and then try to remove it. It's not as easy as the sales lit says.

Understand that the sales lit is written by lawyers to cover their corporate arses when some blockhead slathers acrylic over freshly painted oils.
