Advanced Adhesion - PDMS

(OP)
Hats off to anyone who can provide some leads on this tricky task -

I'm looking to adhere to a substrate which has a thin layer of fuser oil (poly dimethyl siloxane).  You can imagine that bonding to a silicone oil is a nightmare - but due to process condition restrictions it cannot simply be removed.  Is there a coating or chemical constituent that may be laid down, and preferably heat-seal activated to get a "bite" into the fuser oil?          On another thought, is there perhaps a 'dessicant' additive that would dry up the oil per se, and allow for the normal adhesive component to go to work bonding?      Clear or transparent is preferred.    If a solid component is available, I can dissolve in solvent.  Thanks in advance.
