I let it dry for 5 days before going over it. It hardened pretty fast and dried out, but i made sure that i etched before throwing it down and then did the water absorption test (put a drop of water on the concrete and it should absorb pretty much right away and not bead up) before putting down the epoxy. There was some pits still, but i made sure when i was doing the epoxy to do a circular motion over the pits to get the epoxy into them, and when i go over it with the clear it should even out the pits and make it more smooth. :fingers crossed:

thanks for the comments people, Im really happy with how it turned out, it looks better than what the pics show. I wasn't sure how the logo would turn out as they don't really cover this in the instructions and tell you to keep a wet edge, but it blended really well into the dry stuff. Oh and the reason it looks lighter in some spots is due to me taking the pictures right after finishing. It did that on the first part i did, but then blended really nicely the next couple days after.
