Is there something I can add to gloss lacquer to turn it into semi-gloss? If so, what is it called?


Best way is to rub the shine out with pumice when it's dry and hard.

Quickest and easiest way is to mix a flattening powder in with the wet
varnish. Talcum powder works, as does almost anything plain and
powdery. If you use something hard like silex (airfloat silica)
though, it becomes impossible to sand it. Try the talcum powder, but
experiment first - a couple of oz in a gallon is enough to start
making a difference.
