Matte gray self-leveling caulk?

[FabriGator]

I need to fill some spaces in an interior laminate floor and self-leveling gray (concrete) caulk is the perfect stuff. I've used it before for a number of such things.

However, all the brands I am familiar with dry to a shiny/gloss finish. Are there any brands or variations that dry to a matte finish, much like good smooth concrete itself?

If you use Sikaflex, mask the edges, then overfill a bit, then shave off the overfill with a razor, its like a matt finish, but it seems to attract dirt and darken a bit.

I have had luck by putting tape on the wet grout/caulk... then waiting till it's 95% DRY before peeling the tape off. You need to setup test things to determine when it's ripe to peel. Too soon... you **** it up.. too late... it's too late.

Thanks. Will try both methods.

Isn't it odd that something meant to blend in with sandy/matte material dries to a mirror shine"

Just to follow up, I am going to try a tricky approach with self-leveling gray and then one or two shades of 'art sand' in varying shades of gray to try and make a visual, non-shiny match with the laminate.

These are to fill small rectangles around the mounting plates of some iron railing; it was try to carve away the underside of the laminate (too fussy, with already-fitted boards), put a cover over the gaps (too ugly) or fill them like this.
