Just got my new floor done. Looked great after the epoxy was put down. However, after the clear coat was applied with aluminum oxide, I could see all the roller lines and it looked really uneven in areas. It's been dry for about 2 days. I assume this is because of the AO? Here's a pic:

Will putting another coat of clear coat on top fix this without removing the anti-slip?

Thanks!

It's the roller lines of the clear coat. I saw it before the clear coat went on and it looked awesome.

Many things can cause roller lines. The most common is excessive back rolling and back rolling when the epoxy is at the end of it's pot life. For example if it was down on the floor for 20 minutes and they went back to try and hit spots that were not covering the AO very well. The AO itself will not cause roller marks.

Do you think another coat of clear will fix it? The guy is planning to come out this week and said that should help...
