Help small dots from clearcoat. Apply another layer?

[noturbo408]

I think I made the mistake of using a Epoxy roller and not a paint roller to apply the clearcoat. The roller didn't absorb the clearcoat and just flicked it out whenever I was rolling. Now I have many small dots. Can I just apply a second coat of clearcoat? See picture. Thanks

Or is that from the antislip? (Armorpoxy ultrawear)

looks like sand to me. was there something like that in what you threw down?
yes you can add clear over clear as long as you are in the flash window. read product directions to see

I added the antislip which was powdery

Can you not use an epoxy roller for clear coat? I'm getting ready to do a clear coat tomorrow and only have an epoxy roller

I would say that is the anti slip.

If so then stupid me.

I haven't seen the sand in those either. Thought the color chips were the antislip. I added a bag to some paint I was using on wood stairs and it really makes a difference in wet/ice conditions

No expert, but I didn't think the color chips were anti slip. Color chips are 'color chips'.

Those aren't bubbles. It's the anti-slip aggregate that was mixed into the coating.

The only time color chips can contribute to grip is if you apply the color chips to full refusal, scrape the chips well, and then apply a thinner top coat. Instead of the surface being real smooth, it will have some texture to it. The amount of grip it provides is debatable. An anti-slip will still perform better though.

Thanks! Kinda wished I didn't add the antislip since I like the shiny look. I'm sure I won't regret it when I spill oil and don't break my back one day. I'm guessing the antislip can also hid wear and tear on the floor better than a straight shiny surface.

Ever hear of someone breaking an arm on a cup of water? That's what it's like in a perfectly smooth floor. Just crazy dangerous. What's going to happen is you will see wear in those antislip granules first. So might have to add more in a few years depending on amount of traffic. Looks great. Just in time for winter!

All anti slips will give the floor texture and reduce gloss to some extent. We strongly discourage not using a slip reducing additive in a garage application, as they can get very slippery when wet. Flecks alone won't reduce slippage enough.
