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.
