DPLF has a 7 day window to topcoat without sanding. You can exceed 7 days while you work on other parts, but you will need to clean the DPLF, sand it, clean it again and recoat with one coat of DPLF. Buy the smallest cans of hardener so that the open shelf life doesn't expire and you'll reduce waste and $$$.
