How can I matte down DiamondFinish Clear to give a satin of flat sheen?

To give DiamondFinish Clear a satin or flat sheen — very popular for those looking to preserve a natural patina look — lightly sand your final coat after allowing a full 24 hours of cure time. This knocks the gloss down to your desired level, leaving a beautiful matte or flat finish that remains incredibly tough, durable, and flexible.

💡 Pro Tip — Steel Wool Grade

Use grade 0000 ("super fine") steel wool for this step. It's the finest grade available and is gentle enough to reduce sheen without scratching or marring the surface of the cured coating.

Before starting your project, review the complete application directions to ensure the best results:
