what to use

[Chappy 138]

this spa enclosure is with the dock in the other post.

i think its Teak on bottom. at least i beleive thats what spa boxes are made of anyway. But around the windows and roof its different wood. Lots of rot around windows. How do I tell what kind of wood. what is best to stain with. like the dock it takes a wicked beating, being right on the watter.

I guess I would need to mask the windows with plastic so to avoid etching with stripper. Plan on efc 38 and wood tux if thats reccomended here.

Many tub enclosures are made of redwood especially around the base.

Efc will do the job @ 6-8oz/gal. Good idea to mask the windows or at least keep them wet before during and after application.

Use <350psi or you will blow out the molding holding in the windows inside.

The window seal (not sealant/stain) will most likely be shot anyway if present.

Wood tux is a suitable product.

Had a real hard time stripping this. especially on the shade side. had to sand a lot of leftover stuff after it dried. Tinted wood tux ver dark red and sprayed, padded by windows and wiped off drips with a wet towell.

Here are afters.
