Finish sheen question

Jerry Gibbs

Is there a guide for how much flattener to add, or is it trial and error and scale up?

What Finish?

Mark Mandell - Gone Round In New Jersey

There are readi-made finishes in a spectrum of sheens, usually expressed in percentages. There are "flatting agents" like Shellac Flat that come with their own instructions.

You can also contact the makers like General Finishes or Target Coatings for tech assistance.
