tele finish

I got the body on my project painted and 7 coats of Dupli nitro and waited over a month for it to cure.I noticed a couple of small places where my stick to hold the body was covering. I touched them up with 2 light touch up coats of paint and 2 light coats of nitro where I missed and was wondering if I have to wait another 30 days for it to cure before sanding and polishing.Thanks for your help.

I think you'll be fine if you give it 2 or 3 days. In ReRanch 101, it says you can start wetsanding and polishing after 3 days. The longer the better, since the lacquer can stay soft for a long time, but 4 light coats should gas off pretty quickly.
