Yes! Prime it with Ticoat...urethanes and PVC don't like each other.

The best way would be to prime with Modified Acrylic Screen ink, then treat as normal.

If you give it enough TOOTH(Sanding)it'll hang on to the rough edge well enough, then prime with a heavy/thick coat of frog juice.

Is Ticoat still available?
