I used Homex tough as tile kit?
The roller left a texture, is there something I can do to give it a smooth glossy surface?

Did you use a foam roller? It would give a smooth texture. Regular rollers will leave a texture and some fuzz can come off them embed in the epoxy.
Foam,
Call Homax and ask them since this product is supposed to leave a glossy look.

I agree to call the company with that specific product. Otherwise my experience would be to lightly sand it with fine grit sand paper and apply another coat with a different style roller.
Yeah hire me to do it
You can take the texture left on the tiles off with acetone. The kind you get at Lowes or Home Depot, Not nail polish remover. Use a plastic scraper from the auto store to remove the texture after you soften.
You can sand the area and re apply. After a bit of time, it will be less noticeable because the finish will wear a bit.
I would email or call the company and ask what they recommend
You can use a plastic scraper and carefully scrap it off, not sure if you need to use a microfiber cloth and damp it in the area a bit and see if that helps. When I used the grout adhesive for tiling it left a residual and I did that.
On a test piece, apply with a roller then gently use a heat gun or hair dryer. That may help smooth out texture Good Luck
Hi Heidi, someone asked a similar question a while back on Hometalk. You might find all this conversation useful - https://www.hometalk.com/diy/q-this-is-my-first-coat-of-homax-tough-as-tile-is-this-typical-29983687. Hope you come right
This is my first coat of Homax Tough as Tile. Is this typical?
I would call a local paint store and inquire. You wouldn't want to go though a bunch of unnecessary steps and I'm sure this question comes up a lot. Best of luck.
no i dont thinks so
