Leon turned me onto these products just couple years back.

Local Rockler had their last quart, and two pints, of their "Mission

Update: looks like they're selling off the coatings, From Michael Dresdner:

Q: Any word on the Lawrence McFadden Seagrave deal?
A: The decision of the bankruptcy court that must approve Seagrave's purchase
of Lawrence McFadden has been postponed until February first. I will get back to
you via this blog once that is finalized, but in the meantime, I spoke at some length
to Peter Tepperman, the owner of Seagrave Coatings, this morning and he told me he has
every intention of continuing to offer the McFadden formulas for instrument finishes,
gel urethanes, and other standard line products for which McFadden has developed a fine
reputation over the years. The conversation left me very confident that I can now
recommend Seagrave Coatings with the same fervor and assurance as I always did with
McFadden in the past. I think we have a winning situation. Here's a link to Seagrave
so you can see what they are all about.
