I think something has been lost in translation here ... at least I don't understand what is meant. Calico is a kind of cotton - did you mean you polished it with a cotton rag ?

In the region where I live it means the shine somewhere between the mat and the glossy one. My best regards.

wefalck Posted January 21, 2019 Share #251 Posted January 21, 2019 Ah, OK. In English one refers to this as 'satin' and in German we say 'silk' shine. BETAQDAVE, paulsutcliffe and mtaylor 3 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
