    clumps od antiskid

    Hi I just finished the whole epoxy floor effort yesterday. When I went into the garage today I noticed there were some places where there were clumps of antiskid. Is there a way to remove it or sand it down or something without ruiningthe topcoat? If not I'll just live with it I guess.

    Wooden stairs in Garage & Epoxy Flooring
