Q: How Long Should I Wait Before Applying Another Resin Coat?

A:  There are two methods for applying additional coats: 

- the first is the speedier method. After you’ve applied your first coat of Artresin, wait about 3-5 hours until that Artresin has reached a gel like state. At that point you can pour your second coat on top and the two layers will cure simultaneously, creating a very strong bond.

- the second method takes little more time, but is nonetheless equally strong at the end. You will pour your first coat of ArtResin and then wait 24 hours until the ArtResin has completely cured. At that point, it’s no longer sticky, and you will need a piece of 80 grit sandpaper to rough up the surface to provide some tooth for that second coat. At that point you can pour your second coat overtop, and again, those layers are going to bond very, very strongly together.

You can repeat either of these methods as often as you like until you reach the thickness you desire.
