Default Plaster second coat the next day?

Today I'm using orange packets of thistle multifinish over plasterboards.
Most videos show a skim coat a few hours after the first,
but why not tomorrow?
I'd have to smooth off any up bits with a float beforehand,
(as they'd become rocks spoiling the finish),
but are there any other reasons?

Should i wet the first coat with a paintbrush of water first?

George
