Welcome to Timby's Paint & Finish Stripping using the dip and strip method of removing latex paints, old varnishes, milk paint and our specialty "lead" paint from your antique furniture, vintage woodwork, doors, windows, clean metal and so much more, using non-flammable products. We began stripping antiques in 1995 as an avocation. When Tim retired in 2003 from a local steel mill, we moved to our present location and expanded our shop.
We are available Monday through Friday generally from 9:00 AM till 4:30 PM and on Saturdays generally from 9:00 AM till noon. However, please call ahead to make sure we are not out running errands.

The first step uses a chemically hot ingredient that is kept at ambient temperature or 65°F.
This tank uses the same ingredients that are in any thick strip paste one would buy at any local home improvement store except we have it in a concentrated liquid form.
This step addresses varnishes, latex and enamel paint.
The second step uses a chemically cold ingredient that is not available to the do-it-yourselfer, heated to between 100°F and 130°F.
The aim of this process is to remove milk paint, "lead" paint and stains.
