At Stokesley Pine Stripping we use a mix of water and Caustic soda which is heated to get a better effect with removing the paint and varnish from your items.

How Our Doors Are Finished

We like to keep items at least 48 hours after dipping. Giving the wood time to dry for safety reasons.

However. Polyurathane can be removed using a chemical hand stripping process.

Terms and conditions for dipping*. Polyurethane paints will not dissolve in a caustic/water mix. So be aware, there is no way of us telling if a paint/varnish is polyurethane based until it has been dipped. if it is and the paint/varnish is not removed after the dip/strip process The full dipping charge still applies.

Also. As we do not know the history of your item, NO GUARENTEE can be given that joints, laminates or glued joints will stay sound and not give, move or ripple whilst dipping. But full charges still apply. Sorry!
