I have plenty of polyurethane. Can I use this oil based product on top of two coats of the water based finish? Any do's or don'ts on this? Thanks

I have never been a fan of mixing products. Ditto. It is not worth having your top layer compromised after all the other work. Stick with fully compatible chemistries for best results.
