Wal-mart, Home depot, online I can't find this sgtuff anywhere. I found semi gloss, polyurethane clear gloss, Deft clear gloss but I can't find minwax brand anywhere. If anyone knows where I can get a hold of some I would appreciate it. Or if an acceptable facsimile is known to be compatible with duplicolor perfect match, trying to get that mirror shine. Thank you.

Lowes has it I just bought a quart of satin and I had to look around all the gloss to find it. It's in the Minwax section. It has a black label.

Valspar or Watco will go over Duplicolor just fine, they're what I use. You probably know this, but don't use Deft!

Appreciate it. Last time I checked amazon only one can left. They do have the other brands mentioned, was nervous about using something not "endorsed by a TDPRI member" lol.

Maybe some of these brands will start labeling ''TDPRI Approved'' for prestige. How much should TDPRI charge for this endorsement?

I know the Lowes near me quit carrying Watco rattle cans because it just wasn't moving (according to manager).

Once I tried a Preval I was over the rattle cans anyway; Preval is just way more efficient and cheaper in the long run.

True Value hardware has it on their website. Get the product codes, and have them order it delivered to the store, no shipping charges!

I think Rick that Walmart moved on from that product, over the winter I bought about a case and a 1/2 of satin and gloss from walmart 1.99 a can. It should be around at other stores though I know this because we just started to see the Semi Gloss here in Mass as a new product in our Lowes and HD's.

Same here, Lowe's stopped the Watco flow late last year--but they brought in the lacquer Minwax (black can, red label). I can get the Minwax nitro lacquer anytime at Lowes.

D'oh, just reread the OP, he's already checked Wally World. You did good, Chris, last I remember buying, it was over $6 per can
