Fixing up my first Hot Tub, Questions about staining the cabinet
« on: November 09, 2009, 10:19:07 pm »
Just picked up my 1st Hot tub, a Vita Spa Ambiance. Got it for $200 off craigslist, have had it for about 2 weeks now. Plan on doing some upgrades on the spa pack, and getting all the extra spray foam out from previous owner so i can access all the lines.  I have a couple questions i hoping to get some help and more info on. This site seems to be much better than the last one i was posting on and got 0 responses.  I think the outside cabinet is redwood, not positive what are your thoughts? I cleaned all the mildew off of it but had to use a pressure washer to get it off. So i am just about ready for stain, and i have no clue what to get. What can i do and what do i buy to get the outside of this tub looking new again??

Just curious did i do ok on the price for this hot tub? It does need a new air blower but i upgrading several things anyways

Thanks for the help.

I think my renovation pics are somewhere up here, but I used a cedar oil-based stain that worked very well.  Good luck!

Matt, i did find your pics and it did come out very good. Really like the white on the hot tub itself. Think i might just pick up the same stain you used. Thanks
