2nd basecoat

[solway]

Hi all just wondering if it's ok to directly apply the second basecoat to the 1st coat when the 1st has dried more or less completely. I applied the first 3 to 4 mm trowled it off but then it lashed rain so had to cover over and leave. This was last Thursday and Friday lashed rain aswell. It will be Tuesday before I get to give it a second coat of 2 to 3mm 4 to 5 days later. so the question is can I just crack on with the second coat on Tuesday morning or will it suck inlike crazy. I never left it this long to second coat before. Any tips, cheers

Should be fine I guess you meshed already ? And you just want to apply a thin coat to get a finish suitable for texture ?

Exactly ya, meshing done.just afraid it might pull in very fast and not be able to finish correctly for finish coat(1.5mm)

No it won't pull in like over traditional. It will be OK.

In fact once its gone over a fair few hours its better to then let it dry
