Glossy paper is harder to work with because the reflective surface is 
less forgiving of 'mistakes' i.e. uneven spray laydown or minor drips. 

For prints up to 14 x 17 inches I try (and almost always succeed)with  
only one coat.  If you are working on a luster paper you can put 
another coat on if you feel you've missed an area and probably fix any 
uneveness.  If you are trying to put a second coat on glossy I have 
found I may make the uneveness worse... so it is best to get it right 
the first time with glossy surfaces.
