Question Clear Coat - What to?

When doing solid colors is there any colors that you shouldn't clear?
(Making sure your using a gloss clear for gloss colors, etc.)

To apply clear is the below how to apply it?

Cure base solid color fully
Remove part
Shoot clear @ 150*
Fully cure again

If you have already coated something and it's been a couple of days and it hasn't been used or handled can you re-heat and shoot the clear at that point?

Thanks in advance...

Thanks in advance...

To get the best adhesion, 1/2 cure the first coat. Then apply the clear and fully cure it. This will give good adhesion between the 2 coats.

You say fully cure. Is that for the first base coat (20min) or the second clear coat (20 min =40?) Thanks
