What's the least time I can wait between coats, It's 80 degrees and dry today. In the instructions it says overnight, but how long is overnight 8 hours , 16 hours etc. I did one coat at 8 this morning, and would like to do the other coat at the end of the day today (around 7 pm). Since the bus is all taped and I only have the garage for today.

I did a second coat an a S&S years ago and late in the evening after a sunny warm day------it rained and turned my work into (pardon my French) a BFM.  As long as there isn't rain or heavy dew or frost you shouldn't have a problem after 8 hrs of 80 degree weather.  My two cents worth.  Jack

My first MH was a 20 ft Winnie .That thing leaked like a seive .I started Kool Sealing it trying to get the leaks stopped.On the last coat ,it came a rain storm after about four hours.All I could do was wait for the rain to stop .I went to the RV and there was white streaks running down the inside walls everwhere.Got a bunch of rags and got the stuff of the walls and washed the outside .Unbelievably,there was very little on the outside and thankfully Kool Seal is water soluble .To make a long story short ,that thing dried out and I did not have another leak in the two years we owned it !!lol
