Good question. My answer is, It varies. The first layer I let the resin completely dry then I scuff it with some 80 grit sandpaper to remove any strands that didn't lay down. This also removes the shiny surface which promotes good adhesion for the next layer. Allowing the first layer to dry also gives me a rigid surface to apply the subsequent layers on. Usually the remaining layers I do one right after the other while the resin is still wet until I get the desired thickness (usually a 1/4 inch or so). If I do have to wait between layers, I let it dry completely, usually an hour or so depending on how "hot" the resin is mixed, then I scuff it and continue adding layers. Also, Its ok to let it sit over night if needed, just scuff it and continue. I hope this answers your question but, if not, please let me know.
Great glassing tips!
How long are you waiting between layers?
