I`ve had problems with chemical bonds in the past - the epoxy peeling off the second or third coat. I let the second coat cure fully and then sand lightly, which also removes any amin blush - something of a problem here in the cold and damp area of Bremen, Germany. I get the best results with this mechanical bond.
Hope this helped out alittle,
Bryan
