Long story short:

using the DIY durcoat aerosol kit and ran out of spray with only 2 coats on the two rifles.  Since there is zero chance of me finding the DIY spray in stock locally, it will be likely Friday or Saturday till can I get another can in the mail and apply it. 

Can I just pick up where I left off or will I need to prep the surface again to make sure the 3rd coat adheres properly

Do they recommend more than one coat? Or are you just being thorough?

Either way, I would say wait a week at least before another coat.

Packaging suggests three. And of course I put on the first 2 very thin and fine to make sure no runs :/

Ah, yes.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that it takes a week or two to fully cure. Could be wrong though. I do love Duracoat.

Able to do a low temp bake to speed it along?

You have seven days. I did a camo job that took me almost the full seven days, and I had no issues with application or adhesion.

At the very bottom: Optionally spray on DuraCoat clear to even out the slight sheen differences when using multiple colors however, DuraClear should always be applied within 7 days.
