: Overnight is fine, especially at those temps. Break out the bermuda shorts
: and get it on!! :)

I put my second fill coat on in about 12 hours and I will put my third on in an hour witch will be 22 hours. Raka says it can be up to 36 hours apart. I have read that three fill coats are ususlly enough to fill the fiberglass weave, does that sound right?
