All the advice I've read about plastering says you should
put the final coat on about 30 minutes after the previous
coat to let it blend in. I've managed that for about half
the job so far, but just had to crawl home and stop with
one wall with just the first coat.

Any advice on how to restart tomorrow putting the top coat
on.

PVA diluted. On the wall and in water used to mix the plaster

You shouldn't have first coated it if you didn't have time to finish it
off - you've not saved any time, in fact you've wasted more time than it
took to first coat it.

You'll have to pva the whole wall and give it two new coats, but beware - it
will go off like a bullet.

I thought I had enough time, and I would have had if it was a standard
stand-up-and-sweep wall, but it was an alcove and the constant
kneeling
down and standing up again slowed me down more and more. Next time
I'll
leave alcove-type bits and do them in one go.
