How long should you wait between epoxy coats?

Apply a second coat between 24 and 48 hours later to get a very glossy and uniform finish.

Note that if the second coat must be applied more than 48 hours later, you will need to sand the surface using a sander fitted with 60-grit sandpaper in order to remove the gloss and avoid any adherence problems.

If you choose to apply flakes, apply them within 60 minutes of your last coat. 

You need to wait 12-24 hours to apply the first coat of clear after your flakes. 

Allow a minimum of 24 hours before permitting foot traffic and a minimum of 48 to 72 hours before permitting vehicles on it. The temperature and humidity will affect the curing time.
