Epoxy: Second Coat of Epoxy

Hi all,

I just glassed the deck of my night heron. I was able to get a nice matte finish with the weave showing but no white spots. I've heard its best to put on the second epoxy coat within 24 hours of the first, whats everyone's thoughts on this? Why is it better to do it this way? I'm afraid i'll just smudge things up if i do the second coat before the first is cured. Quick responses would be great, i've only got 23 more hours!

Thanks!
Damian
