Haven't seen any for sale for years until a couple years ago at the CGCA show when I guy had a dozen bottles he found somewhere and was selling them. I bought a bottle, and should have bought two knowing it was unobtainium. 
I've used it for decades since I first bought a bottle from the two Idaho gents who were making and selling it at local gun shows. I haven't found anything that does what N35 does, and does it as easily and as well. It's extremely concentrated and need to be careful to not make a stock too red using it.
