polyurathane best matt finish
 
Have put some gloss Dulux polyurathane on a table top, but the end result is
just far too glossy and it just shows up every brushing blemish. Is there
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.
