Hi all,

I'm going to be painting the cockpit sole and cabintop of my new
catamaran cabin for the first time. For the glossy areas (sides of
the cabin) I'm going to use Devoe's 2 part polyurethane. I know it's
not as shiny as Awlgrip but that's o.k. with me.

For the non-skid areas I'll use Awlgrips coarse non skid particles
mixed and sprinkled onto the wet paint. But my question is this:

how do you make 2 part polyurethane flat? I've used a very expensive
flattening paste when painting with Brightsides. I suspect it was
mostly clay. Anybody seen a flattening agent for a generic 2 part
polyurethane paint?

Stores that sell lacquer products should have flattening paste. This is
basically pigment in a solvent solution and should be compatible with
your urethane. Our store has it but in gallons only and you'll only need
a few ounces. You may want to try an auto body paint supplier. They may
carry something like this for adjusting re-paints to match older cars.
