Someone on another forum posted an intriguing question. The instructor in an art class they had attended prepared MDF panels with one coat of acrylic primer and when dry applied a thin coat of linseed oil that was allowed to dry. The panels were then used for oil painting. The surface was said to be less absorbant and smoother to paint on than just painting on plain acrylic primer. It begs questions about the number of layers of primer that should be applied as well as there being no mention of sizing before the priming but my main question is this: Is it a viable practice to apply a thin layer of linseed oil over acrylic primer and then, once that has cured, apply oil paint over that? Will the oil affect adhesion?
