How much time can you have between gelcoat layers?

Hi All,
The ideal I am trying to hit is 4 layers rolled on, mix and roll on in @20 min, let cure for 30 min, repeat 3x with the last coat being waxed gelcoat where as coats 1-3 are no wax added gelcoat. To do it all right it takes me a good 4hrs.
I've been getting jammed up pretty bad with work and am getting smaller windows of time to make progress on my project and am wondering what I can get away with and what I can't.
If I were to start late and just lay down 2 coats tonight, could I pick up tomorrow night and do the other 2 coats or would I need to sand?
thanks in advance for your advice.
