Yeah, I'm intimately familiar with the "not smooth" result... Sometimes you just have to start over.

I've never tried it with that interval but I can't see why it wouldn't. Just make sure to clean/prep the area before blending to remove any waxes/sealants/contaminants, etc., and then do the same with the "bare" chip/scratch because any residual waxes/dirt can lead to poor results.

Any paint prep product should suffice, doesn't have to be Dr. Colorchip's.

Also, if it's a deeper scratch/chip I've had better luck layering versus trying to do it in one step. So fill it 2/3 give or take, let it completely cure (at least overnight), then apply the 2nd layer, cure, blend, protect.
