Biggest problem I have locally is "finding" the stuff.

SFWIW,years ago back in Cleveland, found WoodKote, a company based in
Oregon, at a lumber yard.

Here in SoCal, found WoodKote stocked by a local Ben Moore store.

I do a lousy job with most stains, but using WoodKote's gel stain, I get by.

YMMV
