Yes, this is for an overcoat after printing.  In Paul Roark's website there is info on different types of glop printing and it is geared toward Windows.  With the Mac method of editing the text version of the profile you can add a curve that lays down a glop channel anywhere you want it during the initial print or later as an overcoat.  I use both methods depending on the paper and sometimes do both.  I'm sure the QUI interface can do the same I'm just not familiar with it.  I find that putting the glop where you want it during the initial print works for gloss differential but for bronzing the overcoat works best.
