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.

Ha! Thanks. But it looks like the 'droid who spoke to me would know the
difference...
I was looking on this site:
http://www.acehardware.com/home/inde...d=PPC:76293361
Notice the different URLs: "acehardwaresuperstore" vs. "acehardware"
Acehardware is the "official" online store for the Ace hardware
chain. Acehardwaresuperstore is the online site of an individual
franchisee. If I remember correctly, they pre-existed the launch of
the chain's official store and were granfathered in. While Ace
franchisees are relatively independent, I don't believe that new ones
are allowed to open their own online storefronts using the Ace name.
