Drywall compound texturing over oil based paint?

Have a room where the prior owners have a badly applied ';smooth'; oil based paint applied. I'd like to get away with not stripping the walls if possible. I plan to use watered down drywall compound with a heavy nap roller to texture over the oil based paint and then paint over that with primer and latex paint.





My question is will this work, and specifically- would it be beneficial to use an oil based primer first, before rolling on the drywall texture? Or alternately is it possible to dilute the drywall compound with the oil based primer instead of water to accomplish the same task?Drywall compound texturing over oil based paint?
just seal the wall with pva sealer and that will do the trick. you can put anything on after that
