Is there an additive that you can put in satin poly to flatten it more?

You can flatten it a bit with 0000 steel wool & Trad wax.

Shipway Spescoat in Adelaide have a multi-purpose product called, " Flattening Medium, " also called, " Dulling Medium, " which is added to the Polyurathane to reduce the gloss level. Hop onto their website, ( www.shipwayspescoat.com.au (http://www.shipwayspescoat.com.au) ), and have a look through it. They have all sorts of interesting Timber Restoration, Metal Restoration, Wooden Boat Coats, etc., there. Also anyone can contact the company by phone, or email, " Pick their brains, " AND receive helpful advice, suggestions, and handy hints, as they have been around for a long, long time.

Thank you so much for all of your help. I used 0000 steel wool and wax as Alex suggested and blended the two sheens together. This made the owner happy. Thanks for your responses that can be used on future projects.
