scrawled the following:

Believe it or not, Min-Wax makes a 250 VOC compliant complement to their
normal stains. The client was dead set on Cherry235 in her color scheme,
but the 250 VOC compliant product is not for sale here, and Min-Wax
would NOT ship it to Texas ... go figure?


Err, I hate to admit it, but that Cherry235 is what the OverLord wanted
on the murphy bed, and since she does the finishing, that's what she
got. Along with a a (3) top coats of MinWhacks satin water base
whatever it is.


It's waterborne polyurinestain, of course. sigh


Note to Swingy: I have no idea why you had trouble. Here's the reply
from Minwhacked:

"Dear Larry,

Thank you for contacting Minwax. We appreciate your inquiry.

The 250 VOC compliant version of our Wood Finish Stain is available
for all stores to order if they so choose. However, if you live in a
state where the laws do not make this product mandatory for sale in
gallons, the stores will not likely carry it. The UPC for the Cherry
250 VOC is 027426710795.

You may ask your local stores to order the product on your behalf. The
gallons will come in case quantities of 2.

I hope this information is helpful. Please reply with e-mail history
if you require additional assistance.

Regards, Kim"
