You can also find a water based polyurethane to use. It is not as good as the oil based stuff, but you will not risk the incompatibility problems like with the other.

Can polyurethane be sprayed over an item painted with acrylic paint?

Can you use latex stain over polyurethane enforced oil based stain?
Yes, but only if the stain is a few years old and really dry. You have to wash the stain thoroughly to remove the chalked pigments and then prime it to seal the checks in the wood. One disadvantage of stain is that it will not keep the wood from checking as it dries. Either a latex of alkyd primer will work well. You can then paint it with your latex top coat.
Can you apply an polyacrylic water base finish to an oil base stain?
I am doing that right now. It says on the can that it can be applied over an oil based stain...but the stain may continue to "amber" under the coating. I decided to go with the polyacrylic because a friend told me that polyurethane yellows over time. I don't know if that is true...but that is what I decided to do. So far, the acrylic is going over and drying over the oil based stain without any problems.
