I need to restain my Sundance hot tub and stairs and when I checked the dealer for stain it was $22 a quart. Now that seems a tad bit high. Does anyone have any recommendations for stain? Brand and color? I have a sierra color tub.
Thanks,
Carl

Get yourself a good oil based stain.

That stain should be about $22. per gallon. Check your paint stores. I think the brand Sundance uses is SuperDeck. If you want REAL quality stain try Sikken's. You will only find Sikkens at a quality paint supply store (not Home Depot or such). Speaking of: stay away from the Home Depot brands like Thompson's, or Behrs. Find SuperDeck, Sikken's, TWP - Total Wood Protection, or something similar. If your looking for the "grey" color it shouldn't be too difficult. Oh, I'm a painting contractor by trade.

I've also heard the Cabot's makes a good quality product, though I have not used it yet. I am staining my deck this year, and I think I'll give it a try. I was disappointed in the Sikkens I used last time round.

Sundance does use SuperDeck stain. I recommend using it. It goes on in one coat and works very well. I personally would not use Sikkens on a spa. If you have ever skipped a year with that product, you understand what I mean.
SuperDeck itself is fairly expensive, but a gallon will probably last you 50 years.
