Have some roller marks from a second coat of clear coat I did in some spots (touchups, well, tried too!) with a difference in the amount of silica I put in the 2nd coat, which seems to make the visual difference, especially as I got to the end of the tray. Can I just apply another full clear coat within the 72 hours, or do I have to sand down where the marks are first?

Think i'd sand the ridges as visually they will show through clear coat even if they are fully covered. I threw antiskid silica on top after i rolled out the clearcoat not mixed in.

This anti skid is fine enough that it stays suspended once mixed in, but I mixed in double the recommended when I was going over the area that gets the most foot traffic not realizing. There doesn’t appear to be rigid, the visual difference appears to be the amount of silica

Varying amounts of nonskid can absolutely affect sheen.

We would suggest sanding the entire floor with a sanding screed to get some attempt at uniformity and then recoating with your topcoat, and using a nonskid like our Armorgrip which is very light and stays reasonably suspended for a long time (good idea to give the topcoat a swirl each time before pouring out to re-suspend it though just to make sure it's even).

Thanks for the reply. I did another coat of clear coat over the whole area with the same amount of shark grip in it and it came out good, can’t see a difference in sheen anymore
