Can You Layer Epoxy Without Sanding?
?TIP: Remember: whenever your resin is dry, you need to sand before you apply a second coat to ensure the two layers bond together. If you don't sand, you run the risk of the two layers eventually delaminating.

Can you apply a second coat of epoxy without sanding?

Yes, you can apply a second coat of resin if you need to fix a mistake or a surface imperfection.

Does epoxy need to be sanded between coats?

Some projects are more porous than others and may need help spreading the epoxy effectively. Then you'll begin sanding epoxy resin between coats. Sanding epoxy isn't hard, but you'll want to be thorough! Sand the entire piece evenly.
