Hello... they are 'supposed' to be back, which see:  http://www.wel-tec.com/    There are mixed signals about that, but with today's low phone rates, it would take maybe 90 cents to find out.   Push goes to shove, you can always use another supplier with a total re-do.
Or: change Gude greens. I have hundreds of yards of other Gude Greens.  kd.
