Watco shortage? - KC - 01-07-2021
Is there a particular reason for a shortage of WATCO natural danish oil? I used to could buy that at three or four places locally... now it's only at Lowes... and there's no natural to be had at any store within 100 miles (says their website). Wasn't paying attention and drove 20 miles last night to find 16 cans of only medium walnut.
Amazon has different tones listed, with varying prices. One of the sellers there wants $22 for a pint of natural. $9 for medium walnut. 
I don't need it anymore because I only use it for the amber, and Minwax or Varathane natural does the same thing. But seriously... is nobody using WATCO anymore, or is EVERYBODY using it?

Haven't used it in several years.
I used to use a lot of it. Mixed it 50/50 with poly to harden it up a bit.

I use it often. I actually just bought two gallons (Home Depot) for $66.
