I'm trying to match finishes on some Red Oak cabinet doors that will be in a room with some 20+ year old RO doors with possibly a Urethane finish,So far,Amber/clear shellac mix over the same color stain is the best match but the finish is alittle glossier.  Is there a simple way to knock down the gloss or do I have to rub them down with steel wool.Please,make it easy. |

Hey Greg.
I think some 0000 steel wool is going to be your best bet.

Thanx ED,I'm just worried about leaving strands of iron on doors that will be on the upper cabinets.I guess I was hoping for some magical elexer that would "poof" the shine away.I'm sure I knew better. | |

You could use 3M abrasive pads instead of the steel wood.
No strands left behind.

Howie may join in here for the definitive answer, but in the meantime what I do is scuff the sheen down with a 320 3M pad.
Go lightly, wipe frequently until I get the gloss level I want. That's one of the reasons I use shellac only on small projects. The other is that it dries so @%$* fast! | |
