[Shop-talk] Garage paint/Clear over epoxy?

[Doug Braun]

I used color flakes, and they made the surface a bit
rougher.  With them, I have never had a problem with
slipperiness, so I would suggest not bothering with
the anti-skid additive.

But you have to be careful and methodical sprinkling
the flakes.  Unlike paint, you cannot correct a goof
by applying more.  :-)
