Hi Randy,
Doing multiple layers is doable on large surfaces though it's harder to control resin content for least excess weight. Doing it in single layers, you can do it as soon as the epoxy of the first layer is 'thumbnail markable' but hard. That is usually before blush developes so no scrubbing and you get a chemical bond. Waiting a day might still get a chem bond but you'll need to scrub any amines/blush off first.
