: I agree that wet on wet is best, but what about amine blush free epoxies?

: Also remember that amine blush can work its way through more than 1 coat of
: epoxy. If you put on a second coat before the blush from the first coat
: has come to the surface there is a good chance it will come up from the
: first coat through the second coat to the surface.

: Just for the record, I still think it's best to just recoat while still tacky
: or wait and sand. It just isn't worth it to hurry after waiting too long.

The glass felt dry to the touch already this morning, except for the 2nd layers at the bow and stern. So I might as well go ahead and glass the deck after another day or so, let that harden, do the other stuff as the kit instructions say, and then sand *very lightly* before putting on the fill coat.
