Testimonials

TurnTex is great for their selection, price, and speed. Curtis is always good about getting my orders out quickly and I know I'll always have a great experience with him.

I go through TurnTex because they are always top notch, everything comes as ordered, most of the time faster than anticipated but products always work out beautifully. 

I placed my very first order with TurnTex for epoxy resins and colors. Haven't had the chance to try them out yet, but I received everything in perfect order. Fast shipping, competitive pricing and very friendly customer service.  will definitely order more from them in the future!

The product worked exactly as advertised. What I really appreciated was the personal interest on how successful I was in using the cactus juice. I would highly recommend TurnTex to anyone wanting to stabilize wood for their projects.

I just purchased a unit to do knife handles (scales) and just love the stabilized wood it produces. Prior to this I was using Min Wax stabilizer in a homemade mason jar vac and Mityvac, it was a real pain and I could not really get a good vacuum and full penetration of the scales this way.  The TurnTex unit makes it very easy to work with during glue up and assembly of my knives.  I did have to figure out how to mark/tag the wood scales so I know what type of wood it is once it comes out of the vac chamber, pencil and markers do not survive the juice and vacuum cycle, so I now use a automatic center punch set to light punch and press dots in the end of the scales, then do a list of what mark is what wood.  You do have to be careful with brittle woods so you dont get an end grain split, but this works great.  I'm very happy with my purchase and the high quality of the unit.

Very satisfied with the unit and all your support.

Reodered some Alumilite and Casters Choice. Got in just a couple of days of placing the order. Great customer service. Always willing to answer questions, share techniques and offer advice. 

I used several colors today on an epoxied tumbler. Instructions would have been nice on needing to cut tops of bottles off to get to product (hands a bit stained). Mixed easily into epoxy and went on smoothly. I will need to play with ratios to decrease translucency. Will order more colors soon.

TurnTex is fast at processing your orders and shipping is fast about a week form day I order to when I have it in my possession . Have had some good results with cactus juice turning spalted birch makes the wood very hard great for turning bowls .

The cactus juice works great. Turns old, punky rotten wood into rock solid knife sales and takes a smooth as glass polish. Will come back again and again for more. Thanks for the great product.

Although, I have been turning for a while now, I am new to stabilizing. This website is set up to make it easy ror beginners. With excellent instructions, Q & A help section, and an owner who is willing to answer your questions whether he's herd them a million times or not, without making you feel like the village idiot... which reminds me, I have a question! 

All received in good order. Thank you so much. definitely will order again and again. Kind regards. Mykola. Ukraine. Uman.

Great service at Turntex Woodworks. It's hard to believe so few people could do such a good job. The website is easy to understand in order from. And the added bonus of numerous instructional ideas are great. And it's great to be made in the USA. Hoorah

As always, fast shipping!

 Now for four years. And I love the stuff. All of my knives stabilized handles. Again this is great stuff it works well in the future.

I needed some Alumilite for a project . TurnTex is great.  Good prices, painless ordering process, reasonable shipping costs, and lighting fast turn around time.  My order was shipped out the day I ordered it and was delivered in a couple days.  Great experience.  I'm very happy to be a TurnTex customer  

Expect nothing less than excellence from Curtis. I bought a double sized vac chamber and the temperature tamer unit. A one man show that cares about his customers.  When my setup went down, he went out of his way to get me back on track. 

Just started using Cactus Juice.  I have found Curtis extremely helpful and gave me many ideas in the short phone conversation we had.

Shipping is fast and it is a great product

Keep up the good work and product 

Just started using the Oven Tamer and it's a great product. It stays within one half of a degree of the set temperature. I found that it is best set up in a draft free area, as drafts from shop coolers, or fans fluctuate the oven temperature making it difficult for the Oven Tamer to stay set at the selected temperature. Curtis replied to an email question within two hours. Good customer service and a good product....

So far, everything I've ordered from you has fulfilled my expectations to 100%.
I am very pleased with your products and your service.

just pity it's so far between you and us.

Best darn stuff under the sun

 

I have purchased cactus juice stabilizing resin three times from TurnTex and have achieved excellent results on pen blanks and knife scales.  On my first order, Curtis took the time to answer my initial questions by phone  to get me off to a good start with the process.   I enjoy doing business with TurnTex because I know expert advice is only a phone call away.  

bought the vacuum gauge and was surprised at the quality of this glycerin filled gauge, i am a hvac contractor and and very familiar with all manner of gauges and i can tell you this is the best value on the internet,,

Great experience with Turn Tex. My order was filled and shipped promptly, great communication, a good experience all the way around. I will be doing more business with them.

thank you so much I’m very please with that I bought from you guys , keep it up, great customer service ??

I was very impressed with the expediency of the order.  The packaging was great and shipping was immediate.  Will not hesitate to order from TurnTex again.

Fantastic communications, whether you’ve purchased a product or  not. Curtis is always quick to answer your question or concerns with the utmost professionalism. In today’s world, you couldn’t ask for better customer service. Turntex has a customer for life with me. Thanks

I got all I expected, easy and fast  Thoroughly appreciate good businesses like this.  the website is full of good useful instructional info that must have taken a bunch of time to create, just for us to learn from.  thank you!

I had the opportunity to use the stabilizing chamber from TurnTex.  Before I bought it, I had the

opportunity to use another style chamber so I had something to compare it with.  I'm glad I chose 

the one from TurnTex.  As far as I'm concerned it is the top of the line.  The workmanship speaks of quality

and attention to detail.  It is a chamber that will give you many years of service.  You can't go wrong if you

buy from TurnTex

I purchased some Cactus Juice and Alumilite from Curtis. The order was processed quickly and I received my products  within a few days. Being new to wood stabilizing I  needed some advise on purchasing a vacuum pump so I reached out to Curtis. He sent me a link to an in depth article that he wrote on vacuum pumps that answered all my questions and provided me with some valuable tips. I explored his web site and found many other relevant articles and info that will be helpful.                                                                          Thanks Curtis

Works great and it makes the wood very strong and makes it last.

TurnTex Woodworks offers excellent products at reasonable prices: casting resin, vacuum chambers and equipment for wood stabilizing and of course, Cactus Juice stabilizing resin. Excellent product knowledge and customer service complimented with  lightening FAST shipping. Thanks Curtis and Gaige. They are great guys also.

Superb service from Curtis and the staff at Turn Texas as always

I place and order, I get confirmations for "order received" within minutes if not instantly,  "order shipped" not very long after, and a couple days later for  "order delivered"

As usual... Right...and right on time. Everytime!

Thanks Curtis and crew.

First time ordering from turntex and all I can say is Curtis is the best.  Ordered enough stuff to start out and it arrived quickly.  Had some questions and messaged Curtis and he answered promptly.  Gotta say best customer service I have ever had.  Thank you Curtis and Turntex.  Will definitely be ordering again soon.  

The delivery time was great.  I got all the dyes and the stabilizer that I needed for my project in a couple of days.  

My order shipped out the same day, and they even read and responded to the comments I made on the order. Always good results with Cactus Juice and the dyes they sell for it. I wouldn't be able to do anything at all without the extensive help/faq section on the TurnTex website! And when all else fails, there is a fast reply either by online chat or email. A great company to do business with!

Excellent and speedy customer service

After Stabilizing 100 Pounds of Turquoise or so, I can say with great pleasure that this stuff WORKS.   Not often that I will endorse a Product, but this is an exception, I would recommend this to anyone looking to use it with Stabilizing Turquoise or any other Lapidary Application.

I used Cactus Juice last year (2017) and was very satisfied with the results.  It was easy to use and it stabilized my antler horns that I used for knife handles, and the hardness was very satisfactory.  I had no fears about the finished product and knew that my finished knife handles were very much superior to what I had previously produced.

 

I ordered Cactus Juice again this year and expect to receive the same high quality results.

 

 

 

As always, timely service.  Good customer support.  And I got a sticker!

I was amazed, I had barely placed the order and the acknowledgement and tracking numbers were in my email inbox.  IO received the juice in a timely manner, but have not had time to use it yet.  I expect it to work fine!  Thanks for the speedy service!
