When layering, can I let the bottom layer completely harden or does it have to be a thin skin.. When it's a thin skin the second layers pouring always breaks through.. I was successful with the 3rd layer but I think because it was extra foamy it didn't break through and I waited longer.. So my question is can I wait until it is more than just a thin/thick skin then use lots of alcohol (well enough alcohol). I saw Anne Marie's tutorial of the geometrix and it looked like she waited until the layeres were hardened through but I can't be sure.

Thanks for your helpss..

I wait until it's a really thick skin but not fully hardened all the way through. Fresh Soap and freshly poured soap really makes a difference for the layers to stick well.

Another thing helps is if you pour the next layer of MP over a spoon.
