Can a polyurethane finish (specifically Bonkemi spectra) be applied over a coat of Danish oil ? I want to finish a pine floor with the lacquer but the boards may need some tinting before finishing and I thought the Danish oil would darken them by just enough. Danish oil can, after all, be used as a primer for varnish and gloss paint.

It all depends on the manufacturer and the solvent blend that has been used to make the Danish Oil.
More often than not, so long as the danish oil has been allowed to completely cure, you shouldn't have a problem.
If you want to make sure try the old coin test. Apply a coat of PU Varnish leave it for at least 5 days, rub a coin over the surface and see if the coating remains stable. If it does you're onto a winner.

That's reassuring. Thanks for the response.
