Garage Epoxy Question - Time Sensitive

[brandoncolorado]

Hi all,

I've really appreciated reading through some of the discussions about epoxy coatings for garage floors. Today at about noon, I started adding an epoxy coating to my garage. I used the "Rust-Oleum Professional" coating with the plastic chips. Unfortunately, I didn't add the grit material.

Based upon my reading today, I think I might have made a fairly serious mistake. Being that the first layer is still drying (and still has chips), can I remedy this with a clear coat epoxy? If so, when do I add that layer, and which type of grit can I get?

It will have to be something that I can get in a fairly large town (think home depot or lowes) because otherwise I might miss my time window.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you much. I browsed right over that. I'll post there.

I added a clear on top the next day after the Rust Oleum coat. The clear coat is my wear coat and so far it works well.
