Need pointers on dulling the shine you get from sculp all. I;m rebuilding some paw pads and don't want the shiny look you get with sculp all.
Thanks for your help!

Once you have the paw pad rebuilt, take a terrycloth towel and press it into the epoxy. Then pull it free and you have your paw print back. Paint it with black lacquer and you're done.
You could also put a little flattening concentrate in your paint to dull the shine from the lacquer paint to help.
WASCO sells a satin gloss sheen and gloss flattner powder that you can add to the paint. We use it all the time on bird beaks. Check out the polytranspar lacquer paints in the WASCO catalog. JoAnn
Any dry tempra paint will work also any water base paint but their a bit more messier. You only need a small amount.
Use Apoxie clay from now on (for that type of work)- it leaves a mat finish when dry
put the epozy cult on and press any cloth into it and it kills the shine and textures all in one 'press' - i use paynes gray on my pads and think it is a much more realistic color than black
