What is the easiest way to bring the shine down to a satin on a high gloss table top poured on epoxy resin? Would it be one of those 3M disks?

Is anyone aware of a thick pour on product similar to the epoxy resin that produces a satin finish? I am not aware of any, and if there isn't, is there a wipe or brush on product that would give similar results to spraying? So far all polys I tried never came out as smooth as spraying...

Thanks!

Try steel wool, 000 should do a good job.

I'd use 4/0000 steel wool from awoodworkiing store or mail order steelwool at W**mart or other stores is not a uniform as that made for WW.

Thanks for the replies. Any input about a similar product to the table top epoxy resin but in satin? If it doesn't exist, is this the best way to make high gloss epoxy look flatter or to coat it with something else?

Buff it with 0000 steelwool for a satin finish.

Just a thought, you might try Scotchbrite pads. Start with a gray pad which will give it a flat look and then bring up the shine to a satin by changing to a white pad. My 2 cents...
Happy New Year! :)
