I would lightly scuff the surface of the cured TM epoxy with a Scotch Brite pad first. Tape off the edges of the guide area to avoid scuffing the blank. May not be necessary, but the last bit of info I read on here was that this step is recommended after the epoxy has cured (or after 48 hours, I think). Makes another water break free surface for solid adhesion.

That's my two coats worth.

Peter,
You can probably trust Ron’s infinite wisdom of “sure can” in this instance. Most of these 1-to-1 epoxies are pretty much variations on the same theme and although there may be slight recipe differences, they should be compatible with one another. Scuffing the surface as Leslie suggested would certainly not be a bad thing but may not be required if the first coat is less than 72 hours old. But no opinions are worth diddly-squat compared to actual testing!!!
