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.

Yep. BTDT.

Now, it would be interesting for you to try to order some and see if you
actually get it.

May be because I was in a little town in Texas (Bastrop), but I simply
could NOT get the product (1 gal) shipped to the Lowe's in Bastrop,
Texas in July of 2009.

Believe me, I don't easily accept "no" for answer when it comes to work
related issues.

Too late now, but let me know if you do manage to get some actually shipped.

Me? Order STAIN? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha! He make joke.

I might try dye some day, but unless the customer orders something
matched and orders me to use stain, I don't touch that ****. My
nickname it is RBS for "reddish brown ****". I was seriously angry
with the last client who did that to me, forcing me to use PolyShades,
the worst of two evils. (Holding up fingers in sigh of a cross)
Ptui!

But she did say it was ordered in a minimum of a 2-gallon case but the
folks who stock the rest of their crap. I would suggest that bLowes
has their own ideas for that, so try a paint store instead. Call the
local Sherwin Williams store and ask if you really want to know.

BTW, if this happened last summer, what did you finally use on the
cabinets? And why do you ever use Minwhacked?
