Bought a used lip where a noobie only put in maybe 2 layers and it was a pita to get off. Use it right, put on atleast 5-7 layers. It's easier to get off and it's the correct way to do it.
...unless you are able to apply thick coats. I only apply 3 to 4 coats however they are thick coats so they last long, it looks great and its easy to take off when its necessary to do so. The only problem with doing a thick coat which you have to be careful of is potential dripping which I learned how to avoid after an initial mishap. Ever since then I only put on those 3 to 4 coats and you can tell when you take it off how thick it really was.

You are correct though that if you're only laying down 2 to 3 coats and they are thin it might not work well and you could potentially run into issues.
