Another light coat can't hurt.

how THICK is the one coat? IF you didn't thin the goo with mineral spirits or other solvent one coat should be enough. I only recoat them for 1800 to 2200 fps. Or if I size them AFTER the first coat.

If you ran them through a sizer after lubing them then you will need a second coat.
