As soon as the first coat is no longer "sticky" and you can get a brush or spatula on it without disturbing the first application, you're good to go. I would suspect, however, that an hour might not be long enough. By 4 or 5 hours you should be okay.

I've been doing 5 or 6 hours, just when it's losing its tack, at around the same temp, and haven't had problems. You could probably press it tighter than that time interval but an hour is too soon (at least in my room and with my skill set),
