puzzleman Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 I can't find it anywhere including Lowes, Home Depot, Klingspor, etc. Anyone know why there is such a shortage? bb OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Last year due to the pandemic and my normal buying source was closed.. I ordered two gallon ( case ) from Home Depot.. Actually a little cheaper than my local source. I was just looking the other day and see it's not available for shipping.. Though it looked like they had it in store I thought.. My local supplier had in on the shelf when I was there a month ago. I need to make a trip again for some lumber for the CNC side of the business so if they have it I'm picking up a couple gallon again. Only thing I can think of on the shortage is because they may have gotten behind do to covid.. Be interesting to find out what's going on though. EDIT: I found this doing a search online.. This is a reply to a question about being out of stock everywhere on Lumberjogs.com "Hi, I am having the same problem finding the natural version of Watco danish oil. I’ve searched far and wide, and finally reached out to the manufacturer (Rust-Oleum) and after a couple rounds they said “We just checked internally and it seems as though we’re out of stock also – which is why you’re likely having trouble, and we apologize for that inconvenience. If you’d like to check in with us in a few weeks, we can provide an update with our inventory status.”. I did some more searching and a amazon seller had some but $110 for two gallons ( case ) free shipping.. double the price I gave for the case last year from Home Depot. Then I searched woodcraft.com and they show that it wont ship until March 19th.. must be they are expecting a shipment..

OCtoolguy Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 I bought my last gallon from someone on Amazon. It'll last me a long time. Give them a try. puzzleman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puzzleman Posted March 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Ah- Yes! The Covid vacation may be in play. My son witnesses this a lot. He shows up for work faithfully but others do not - Covid vacation. bb OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Lust looked at my local home depot and they have it in stock. Quarts, Gallons may have been other sizes and shades too. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredfret Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Large delays at ports and a shortage of shipping containers has caused a shortage of several products including imported cheese. Perhaps thats the reason. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberta Moreton Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I like to support small businesses. I get mine from my local ACE Hardware. Look for the small shops. OCtoolguy and ben2008 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
