I just went and looked up some example sentences for 层 as "layer" to add to my flashcards, since I feel like I keep forgetting that meaning -- I always think of it as a level/strata/rank or a floor of a building. Some useful-looking Mandarin examples I found with 层 as a layer/coating:

涂上一层油漆。
*"Apply a layer of paint."*

牛奶上面结了一层皮。
*"A skin has formed on the milk."*

机器蒙上了一层灰尘。
*"The machine was coated with dust."*

地面被一层雪覆盖住了。
*"The earth was covered in a layer of snow."*

湖面上凝结了一层薄冰。
*"A thin layer of ice formed over the lake."*

For the "layer" meaning I found this in Lost Tomb Reboot, episode 3:
有一层像蛋白一样的东西
and:
你看一直往下 一层一层的

This one from episode 7 seems to be the "strata" meaning:
岩层里到处都是

For the "floor" meaning, there are lots of 层 in the Warehouse 11 arc. A couple from episode 24:
我怎么能下到二层
and:
你为什么一直待在一层？ 二层太危险了。
