Newbie

Ordered vacuum chamber, gallon of Cactus Juice and dyes from Turn-Tex.  Also got toaster oven on Craigslist.  Ordered a vacuum pump from Amazon.  I cut up some wood from my pile of tree trimmings into 1 1/2 square by 5 inch blocks, some was fairly spalted.  Mixed Cactus Juice with red and blue dyes and got some interesting blanks.  Turned on of the spalted blanks into a bottle stopper and got beautiful results.

Am starting this a little late in life as I am in my eighties but believe I will be enjoying this hobby.

I am a new knife maker.

I have researched many products, read reviews and have started purchasing my products needed to create my one of a kind handmade knives. I placed my order with Turntex and couldn't be happier. The items are exactly what I had wanted.  Very happy

Cactus Juice i Australia

Further to my previous comments, I have purchased your brand of Cactus Juice through Timberbits Australia, a very good firm to deal with down under. I have put my first batch of spalted wood through the pressure pot and now waiting results. Thanks for the great tips and advice on your web site. Cheers Bob C.

Info on Cactus Juice

I am from Australia and new to using Cactus Juice and other resins.      I have found the information available on this web site most valuable and

am now confident to start stabilizing and casting my own pen blanks.      I would certainly purchase products from TurnTex but the cost of postage

puts the price too high.     Thanks again for allowing me to download some pdf articles.     Cheers.

Another pleased customer

After reading about stabilizing in several woodworking forums, I submitted my small order. I was pleased with the quick turnaround, receiving my order in a shorter time than I expected. 
I read through the do’s and dont‘s on the TurnTex website, and successfully stabilized my first batch of knife handle blanks. Shortly afterwards I ordered some dye, and again, quick turnaround.

What a great resource. Thanks for the written info on your website.

Excellence

We started our small business here in Montana a little over a year ago selling raw wood in an auction group and when we made the decision to venture into stabilizing earlier this year, we could not have been directed to a more knowledgeable and helpful person than Curtis! Huge shoutout for all your guidance and direction,  any day of the week plus the added bonus of fantastic products, we couldn't be happier! Anyone looking to venture into the stabilizing process should definitely connect with Curtis and his crew!

Thank you

Super products and service !

I'm about to try casting acrylic blanks, and while looking for ideas and methods, I spent quite a bit of time watching videos and making lists on this website. This is the second time I've ordered from TurnTex.com and I couldn't be more satisfied with their products and services. Curtis is willing to answer stupid questions and does it quickly.  I've not called him yet, but from what I've read, he's even willing to call you back should the need arise. My first purchase was a vacuum chamber and the accessories. Took more time to do that than what I thought, but I can't complain about the quality of the items at all.  Thank you for everything !!!

Are they really that good?

When you read online reviews of Turntex, you might think to your self there is no way a company can truly be that good. I mean, they must be paying people in exchange for great reviews, right? 

 

The reality is Curtis and staff ARE that good. They take pride in taking care of the customer. They make sure every customer feels like they are THE most important person because that's what Turntex believes. So will I order again from Turnex if they have what I need? ABSOLUTELY!! I don't have a need to order much from them often. But when I'm looking for something they sell, they are at the top of my supplier list!!

Great fast service

I'm retired and I buy knife blanks and turn them into functional knives. My wood of choice has always been Ironwood, because it is beautiful and I live in Arizona. After watching every episode of "Forged in Fire", I decided to try some other options. I kept hearing about stabilized wood and got interested. On a knife site TurnTex was mentioned as a good place for parts to build a vacuum chamber and the source for Cactus Juice. I have purchased several items from Curtis and the quality is great and the service is superb. I have never talked to Curtis and have been a customer for only a few months but I can assure he is honest and provided excellent service. 

 

Thanks Curtis.

Thanks!

Great stuff!

Dyes work great and super easy to mix.  Using 2ml dye per 100ml cactus juice seems to be giving good results on the zebra wood I'm working with.

Great service

Both my resin, and the pumps I bought later, were delivered very quickly. Even with standard shipping, I received both orders on the second day after ordering. They even sent a replacement cap that was broken during shipping. Curtis and his crew are really on the ball. The resin I bought has performed flawlessly. TurnTex is a perfect example of American exceptionalism!
