Floquil Wood Stain Alternantives?

Has anyone found a decent replacement for Floquil Wood Stains? I curse the day they stopped producing them. I havent found anything equal to use in their stead and I just ran out of the last bottles I squirreled away.

Thanks, I thought of that but I was hoping to find a replacement supplier using similar bottles, much easier to deal with on a hobby bench than the tin cans stains usually come in. Plus Floquil's were so much better than your HomeDespot variety. Oh Well, guess I'll just look for some empty bottles at a hobby supply co and start mixing.

Rubbing alcohol and shoe-leather dyes are another, and safer, alternative.
