Default polyurathane best matt finish

Have put some gloss Dulux polyurathane on a table top, but the end result is

any way I can add something to it to make it produce a matt finish (other
than rubbing it down after its painted on) ?

Failing that does anyone have experience of which is the best 'matt'
polyurathane clear varnish out of Dulux, Rustins or Ronseal? * *Thanks for
advice.


Rub down the surface with very fine grade paper (240), and then apply
beeswax (i.e. a proper polish containing beeswax, or pure beeswax, but
not a spray polish) and either don't buff it or do so very lightly.
Yes you can put wax on top of varnish.
