I'm very new to using resins, so sorry if this question seems a bit obvious!! I've been doing some casts with pigmented polyester resin, painting on top with acrylic paints & then applying an additional layer of clear polyester resin on top to hold the my acrylic paint design. It has worked pretty well, however the additional layer of resin has made my cast SUPER shiny! And I don't like this finishing at all!
Is there a way i can take away some of the shine from the polyester resin?
I have heard that washing it in acetone might help? I have also heard about using wet & dry paper on it to take out some of the shine- but this wont work so well for me because I have a lot of texture on my casts that i want to keep!
Has anyone got any ideas? Would acetone work?
Thank you so much!
