Has anyone used Deck Restore made by Synta? I understand it is a challenge to apply being so thick. Any recommendations as to painters with the patience to apply properly.

Not familiar with that product. Restoring decks is messy, but easy, according to what you are getting off. Oil enamel is harder to strip than previous applications of deck stain, for example. And oil stains are easier to strip than acrylic stains. Etc
Strip with a stripper containing sodium hydroxide.
Keep stripper wet bu applying more, if necessary.
Let it work 20 to 30 minutes.
Pressure was the stripper and old stain off.
While it is still wet, apply a neutralizing acid, like oxalis acid to brighten the wood and bring the ph down.
Apply your stain of choice, preferably one that can be applied over itself without stripping in two years, or so.
Enjoy.

If your deck is over water, can you use those same chemicals since you are going to rinse the deck into the lake?

As a Home Depot employee (full disclosure), we can not keep this product in stock. This is a very effective product with great results. The response by customers is very positive. We have gotten a few complaints and subsequently a few returns. The primary concern was the thickness of the product. The spread rate is not good and a few folks under estimate the coverage they need. Please keep in mind, this product does require two coats. You are also able to choose a textured or smooth finish based on application technique.
The product is extremely popular around lakes as it can extend the life of your pier, dock, or deck. It has the ability to fill cracks, seal splinters, and helps prevent nails from popping out. It can also be used on concrete. Most paint desks should be ale to provide you with techniques and tips to aid in your project. Be sure to ask about expected coverage as we rarely see the actual coverage meet the manufacturer's stated amount. Also, be sure to spend a few extra bucks to buy the Deck Restore roller. With out, you are in for an extremely long day or two.
Lastly, check around for pricing. For a 4.75 gallon bucket, the price can vary as much as $11.00 by retailers.

Deck and dock are 2 different things. I was referring to deck, which is usually not over water like a dock is.

I finally read up on this product. Sounds like a decent "restore"/"replacement deferral" type product. SW sells a similar product. There are others, as well. As mentioned, always do an estimate of product needed plus 10 to 20%. Then you still may need more. Manf estimates are generally based on very friendly, ideal circumstances.

Thanks for the information. Your comments echo the reviews of the product. Sounds like a fall project.

I was not even thinking about it, I mean, it is a $250 permit just to use a new dock or to restore your old one.

I can't say enough good things about this product. My decks and dock were here when I bought the place in 1991, and even with sealing over the years were in terrible shape with cracks and splinters everywhere. I was thinking of tearing them down and rebuilding when I found out about Restore. I covered all of my decks and dock and they look like new. No splinters, cracks filled, and looks good. I used the chocolate color and my only complaint is the dock gets hot in the sun. I used an individual who has helped me with carpentry and landscaping, and he did an excellent job. His name is Stacy Young and his number is 256-493-0355. Since it is thick, it will take much more than you would think. A 20X20 foot dock will take about 16 gallons, but it is much cheaper than replacing the wood.
