Yes, from Woodcraft (a big chain similar to Woodworkers Supply or Rockler). I used to use TransTints and Moser Wizard Tints but this Mixol stuff has made me a convert.
BTW, shellac flakes, chips, buttons, etc. to make your own cuts are available at all of the above woodworking shops for less $ than at a "boutique".
