I learned about TurnTex products roughly 10 years ago, and have been using Cactus Juice ever since - excellent product and never a problem - it has always far exceeded Curtis’ claims regarding longevity…and yes I keep it in my garage fridge.
I used Curtis’ original vacuum chambers as inspiration to create my own chamber, glued together from 1/2” polycarbonate sheets, and have used it with much success. After years of using it, I noticed the walls of my homemade chamber were starting to show “crazing”, or what I take to be impending cracks - so I finally pulled the trigger on ordering a TurnTex 8” chamber.
OMG, I am so pleased and impressed! Without changing anything else, besides swapping out with your chamber and tubing, my vacuum went up more than a whole additional inHg of vacuum depth - now just better than 29inHg. And I’m at 330ft altitude, so while not perfect, that is dang good!
I am delighted with this purchase, Curtis, and very impressed with shipping speed…from yours to mine in Seattle in 5 days far exceeded my expectations.
This has completely rekindled my interest in dyeing and stabilization - I’m so glad I stopped waiting!
