This year I went to replace the above Cabot stain and was presented with a water-based Cordovan Brown due to Illinois VOC regulations. Not only would this provide inferior protection, but the tint was noticeably different than the oil-based Cordovan Brown I am used to.

Does Cabot still support the mixing of their original oil-based tints in non-VOC states? If not, is it possible to get another stain manufacturer to reference the old Cabot tint and mix an oil-based equivalency for me?
