Flat CA Finish

[DocStram]

I understand how to use ca to get a gloss finish ..... but how does one make a "flat ca" finish?

After you finish with your CA just take some 0000 steel wool and rub it lightly while the lathe is on.

Or drop bck to about #5 MM and "sand" with it with the lathe on and length wise with the lathe off.

That's it??? The way I read the description of the "Flat CA" I had the idea that there was some special ca to use or something.
Thanks for your input.

Could you also just use a couple of thin CA applications? When I fist used CA (before I found this web forum) I put two or three coats of thin CA on with a papertowel and they seemed to come out ok.
