Default Varnish of my dreams--found!

After much arduous searching, I've found it, my Xanadu, my Shangri-la,
the sine qua non of varnish. And all the time it was available right
at my little local Ace Hardware store.


Better stock up. The Ace website has no knowledge of
* 276A111
* 16385
* ACE 16385
* "Varnish" (other than varnish removers)
* "Solvent-based varnish"

So I called Ace. They couldn't find it on their web site either.

Probably the situation is:
a) Ace can't ship hazardous materials, so they don't list it on their web
site, or
b) It's a discontinued item.


Nah, it's their useless web site. Even the people who work at Aces will
tell you that their website sucks. No point even looking there for anything.

I asked when I bought the quart and was told that it was a
currently-available item (even though the can had quite a bit of dust on
the lid, which is why I asked).
