UV coating over Digital?

I am wondering if there is any way to UV coat an uncoated sheet. I know if you run it through about 10 times you can get it to look glossy. I was wondering if anyone has tried aqueous coating first or knows how to seal the paper fibers from soaking in the coating to allow the UV Coat to be successful on an uncoated coverstock sheet? Wes
 
We use an off UV Coated by Tec Lighting on a Ricoh C900 (fuser oil) & a CPP 650 (Wax base). As long as you use the correct UV formula for your toner type it works great. If you mix them up you get cracking or other issues.
 
I have a 21" Tec Lighting coater, and their coating is working great for the output of my KM C8000s.
