now defunct. He bootlegged it into California for me. It was illegal there at the time, prolly still is.Holy S*it, Maynard! Prices have skyrocketed since I bought my gallon of Original/Satin Waterlox. It's now $30 a quart, but a quart will finish a helluva lot of wood, believe me. I think my gallon was $41. Just keep the air off it's surface in the can or it'll skin and gel on your in a heartbeat.
Woodcraft and Highland Hardware $27, Killian Hardware $26, but regular varnish is now $15 a pint, so it's not so different, eh? Any decent oil finish is skyrocketing because of the bloody ecoterrorists who scream "VOCs Kill!"
