love it

Wow this baby is solid and awesome.  I love it.  I'm glad I bought the 6"x12", I place a bell jar inside with various colored batches and swap them in and out.  I'm so glad I bought my stabilization chamber from TurnTex!

Exactly what I needed

I haven't turned in a while, but I still have a lot of turning blanks, and a lot of them need this.  But the primary reason I bought this, was because I was restoring an old Stanley No 40, hand plane, and the knob and tote, were extremely weathered and none of my attempts to fix the wood helped.  Cactus Juice was the exact thing that they needed.  It's easy and straightforward to use and, since it's heat activated, you don't waste any, just pour the rest back into the container.  https://youtu.be/pbMl3WfDs80

Curtis and Turntex are the absolute go-to for resin stabilizing supplies. Don't waste your time with cheap impersonations!

I new at this & have found your products & info on their use very helpful.

Being new at casting, I have found your products and product information very reassuring.  The quality is also very good, and knowing I can call you if I get into a jam allows me to have at it.

It is with great pleasure that I commend you with your excellent customer service. The follow-up emails were evidence of true customer service and heartfelt concern for your customers. The quick shipping of the products were very impressive. I will definitely be ordering from you again. Your "Help Center" is a wealth of information for anyone with questions on Stabilizing.

I have owned and managed businesses in the past and I am a Stickler for good customer service and I will have to say that your company rate an A+'

My virgin experience

I just stabilized my first couple of pieces using Cactus Juice. All the guidance on the Turntex website was so helpful; very pleased with the results, though I was surprised that I was still getting bubbles after five days! I did have a couple of questions during the process and Curtis was right there with clear concise answers - sometimes so quickly it was scary. I will be back!

Fastest Delivery Ever

I got the email that my Cactus Juice had shipped the day that I ordered it.  I’ve got handle scale blanks sitting in the vacuum chamber right now, so we’ll see if the product is as good as the service but if it is I know I will be satisfie.

Great Service and Products

Purchased the chamber from Turntex couple of years ago. So far ave used it to stabilize spalted, punky or porous blanks for turning pens. Works very welll and makes a world of difference in the blanks I can turn.

Curtis is very responsive, his website and YouTube channel are a great source of information for turners. Will definitely be back for more.

Great Product

Purchased the Oven Tamer II for drying wood, and curing Cactus Juice. Couldn't be happier. The Oven Tamer does a perfect job of maintaining the set temperature, and as advertised when set at the proper temperature the resin stays in the wood, and doesn't leak out as much. Have ran several batches through now, and am very pleased with the results. Plus the safety factor of knowing the oven will not overheat and catch your wood on fire is the number one reason why I purchased this. The owner Curtis is very helpful, and quick to answer any questions you may have. The master of stabilization.

Eventually, you will buy one!

As they say, spend a little extra now or spend a lot later (like I did). Quality is worth it. These pots are so perfectly engineered, but it is the things you may not hear about:

  • Superb customer service
  • A detailed instructional manual
  • A master of vacuum pump information for when yours sieze up
  • The hose has quick--release fittings unlike others I have read about
  • Anti-tip ring so it will stay secure on your bench

Get on board with the best.

Great resource for home woodworders

I make custom wa-handles (Kenscustomhandles) and I wanted to start stabilizing my own wood. Your website seems to be the only site that supports DYI vacuum chamber efforts. You site is well organized and easy to nagivate and your prices are fair. I just wish you had more DYI parts like 6" clear PVC tubes and caps. Thank you. Regards, --Hyun Kim

Cant wait to get started,

I am new to turning and casting, the next thing I want to get is one of your vacuum chamber for stabilizing. (I have heard nothing but good things about them!) I am very pleased with the fast shipping and just purchased my pressure pot and will be putting it together in the next few days. I look forward to doing business with you in the future for casting and stabilizing.

 

Thank You Very Much,

First time ordering from TurnTex and was pleased with the product and service. Shipping was quick even though the carrier had issues. Will definitely be back to order more.

Leader of the pack

If you want the best chamber for stabilizing, this is the place to get it. This is not an "Amazon Prime, 2 day shipping" type of operation. There is a wait time posted on the page and it was pretty close....up front honesty. I placed 2 separate orders and told them to just hold it and ship it together....done. Very nice product....no junk. Need technical help? Fast email response and he will answer the phone, although I will only call in case of emergency as I don't want to delay someone else getting their tank. Plain English....Great company to deal with.

Will be my only source from now on.

I had an issue that was my own fault with the cactus juice, which I bought from another supplier. They were unable to help me. I contacted TurnTex, explained the situation, and they solved my problem without hesitatio, even though they had no obligation to. Their customer service is the absolute best I have ever encountered. I am just getting into turning stabilized woodd, and was a little apprehensive because of the limited number of resources to really commit to it, but after dealing with TurnTex I have no reason to hesitate. I highly recommend using them for all your supplies. By the way stanilized wood is so nice to work with, and the results can be pretty spectacular.

Great woodworking resource!

My experiences with ordering from TurnTex have been outstanding.  I had one issue with the website while trying to place an order and the owner responded to my help request very promptly and was helpful.  The information in the Help Center tab is outstanding and has enabled me to have a lot of success creating fun and unique blanks.

Excellent products and service

Have always used Curtis and his Cactus Juice for all my stabilizing needs, he always has excellent deals/prices and the service/support he provides is far superior to anyone else.

The addition of the Cactus Juice specific Dyes just solidifies my continuing support/business to TurnTex.

Quick, reliable, economical

I want to give Turn Tex my highest marks in speedy turn around time on orders I've made. Also, the stabilizer and dyes I have ordered worked way more efficiently than I had expected them to. I've also used the dyes in epoxies and they work great! You just have to use a VERY small amount in your mix. Thanks Curtis, it's very good doing business with You. Best Regards, Kevin W.

Thank you

I emailed TurnTex not long ago with an issue on my oven tamer.  Curtis was quick to respond...very quick and was able to resolve the issue without question.  I have always looked to TurnTex for guidance and support and the crew there has never failed to provide first rate service to me.  It's great to see an honorable vendor these days.  Thank you TurnTex for all your help, and all you do for our community.
