Fantastic Vacuum Chamber

I recently purchased a TurnTex Vacuum Chamber. It's a fantastic product that is exceptionally well made. TurnTex's Vacuum Chamber and Cactus Juice make stabilizing wood a breeze. And TurnTex's customer support is absolutely stellar. If fact, the personal support that Curtis provides is by far the most helpful customer support for any product I've ever purchased. I would highly recommend TurnTex's Vacuum Chambers and Cactus Juice for anyone who is interested in stabilizing wood.

Over the last three years I have seen consistent and great customer service from Curtis and his team!  Each order is processed accurately and fast. His products are my go too after initially trying and I am a loyal customer after my experiences with Turn Tex.  Head over to the Facebook group if you have a question and you should find an answer, if you can’t, just contact them and Curtis will have advice.  This is a great company with high quality products and excellent customer service.

Great Service & Products

Just wanted to let folks know how good the customer service and products are at TurnTex. I have recently begun stabilizing for my small business. The quality of the product provided by TurnTex and the customer support have been fantastic. Curtis has lots of great resources available in his website to guide you from start to finish. In the past month I have stabilized. Amboyna Burl, Yellow Cedar burl, Orange Agate, Holly & Buckeye Burl. all without a single glitch

Alumilite for Chola Cactus

I cast oak burls and Cholla cactus with Alumilite and I have never had a failure.  The Alumilite takes the colors I add and make the wood vibrant.  I only use Alumilite from TurnTex because of the superior quality and immediate service.  Thanks and keep up the great work.

Great Pump Saver

I have this Pump Saver hooked up between my vacuum chamber and pump right now. Everything I have gotten from Curtis is top notch and you will not find better customer service, shipping or warranties anywhere. Curtis and TurnTex are the go to in the industry for all things resin casting and stabilizing hands down!!!

No complaints

  Service was timely and the product does everything it says.  This was my second order of Cactus Juice and I added the Cactus Juice dyes as well.  After using them, they do seem to provide a more brilliant color than Alumilite dyes.  If you want to stabilize wood, this is what you need.

Cactus Juice

I've been doing business with TurnTex for 6 years now and haven't experienced better customer service anywhere.  The very few times that I've had occasion to need CS, my problem was corrected or further explained immediately.  Everyone you come in contact with is exceptional.   I'll pay more to continue to get this type of service and products.

Long Life

My name is Tony from Missouri.

I had been stabilizing for over 6 years and had some mixed and ready to go.  I got sidetracked and went out of town.  I had a heart attack and as time does, it kept marching on.  Some 3 years later I ordered more Juice and wanted to stabilize some wood and low and behold there was my juice and half a dozen pieces of wood still in my pot.  You have to understand this part of my tool shed is not insulated but open air and tin roof. In the last few summers, we had temperatures in excess of 100 degrees several days in a row and one of our worst winters in over a decade down to zero.  

 There was about a quart of juice and the wood had sunk to the bottom.  I wrapped the wood in foil and baked it. Turned out as good as any before and turned just fine as a pen blank.  I used the rest of the juice to Vaccuum and stabilize wood till I used almost all of it.  All turned out great and so I just added more juice and kept going through another gallon before finishing up.

  I know it has limits, but I can tell you from practical experience it will defy standards and leave you fascinated and scratching your head, all in a good way.  Thank you, Curtis. Thanks for a great product.

Great company

I wanted to say that first off I had a complete failure in one of my chambers. I emailed Curtis the morning of 5/21 asking for help on possible reasons why, ( did not expect to hear back till next week) Curtis called me that evening. We went through possible causes and reasons why this happened. In the end we could not determine the “whys” as there are too many variable, I guess When you stabilize as much as I do it was bound to happen and this was just a fluke. 

I will say I’m the end Curtis made it right and earned me as a customer for life. Great product and outstanding customer service!

Thank you again Curtis

Cactus juice

Thank you for the great product at a reasonable price. I use the cactus juice for stabilizing stone. Also excellent for wood products. Nothing is 100% perfect, but this product allows me to use material that I might otherwise set aside, and to me.. that's a big deal. The customer service has been great, including super fast shipping. Much appreciated! Best wishes to you, your family, and your business. Thanks.. Phil

1st class service

I have been using Cactus Juice for a few years now, and the level of customer service from Turntex is first class, I live in the Uk and Curtis has very kindly on a few occasions sourced other items and allowed me to send items to him to enable me to have these shipped to the Uk. Thank you for a 1st class service.

Casting knife handles.

 I have had excellent luck casting my knife handles with

Alumilite clear. I live in Oklahoma so I get my order usually in 2 days. I plan to use only Turntex for my casting  supplies. They sell great casting molds also. Five stars all the way, customer service can’t be beat.

New Product

I ordered two gallons of the new Cactus Juice formula and I like it a lot better than the older formula. I can stabilize more wood blanks with less juice bleed out, and it is a lot clear. It is a great product and i will be ordering more. Turn Tex has a very fast turnaround on shipping. Most times I order i have my products the same week. I have been very pleased with everything I have order for them.

Restocked dyes

Newbie to stabilizing and finding quite a learning curve. Blocks and blanks and enjoy adding color. Picked up the new to me purple cactus juice dye and like it. I am having best final results with the highest recommended dye to juice ratio when impregnating difficult blanks. Eager to try some of the new formula. Thanks for your products Curtis.

Great service!

I´ve been using Cactus Juice for the last two years and will do for the rest of my life. Turn Tex products allowed me to use unknown woods in the manufacture of traditional bows. I have played with colors to create unique materials for my Patagonia Archery bows. The company's team offers excellent customer service. I´m anxious to try the new formula.

Cactus Juice For Pistol Grips

I have a company ( RW Grip Frames) that manufactures Brass and aluminum Grip Frames for single action Revolvers.

We offer a line of Grip Panels to complement our Grip Frame Line.

I stabilize all of my panels now so that i can literally machine them on a small Cnc Mill with a home made dust collection unit.

This product is Nothing short of being Nectar Of the GODS.

Thanks for a not only a great product but a Godsend to our productivity. It is Fantastic.

We would be lost without Cactus Juice

Most all our turning is a wood/ resin combination. Without Cactus Juice, it would be impossible to get the results we do. Casters Choice mica is by far my favorite. I love that the names of colors are self-explanatory, and have the perfect number of options to provide plenty of choices without being overwhelming (who needs 17 shades of blue? LoL) I could go on and on with all the items I have ordered always meeting, usually exceeding, our expectations. Shipping is always by received the day promised, usually a day early. And it's super fast and easy to chat with a human for any and every reason you can come up with.

Black Wolf Knives

I decided to do all my wood stabilisation in house so purchased 3 sizes of chamber of the last couple years along with a good supply of CJ and this order I included the  TurnTex dyes  

CJ is so easy to use just add activation shake are it’s ready to go. i have just finished 40 blocks for my knives and they all turned out beautiful 

The level of service provided is exceptional i order right before Xmas and I still received everything before new year and that’s international shipping as I live in Japan. On top of that I put in several orders as I kept adding items which were all shipped together and got a refund on the shipping as they combined orders which is tops.

Got to appreciate the effort put in to get me the goods in shortest time possible too

I am definitely a CJ fan now and will not be persuaded to use anything else. 
Thank you all at Turntex

Satisfied customer

So I've tried a few of the TURNTEX products, to include the vacuum chamber, some stabilizer, dyes and such. All of them work 100% as instructed. I've made some blanks, about to try my hand with some wood shavings , metallic and dyed resin, I've come to trust their products and wouldn't look any further for others. Thanks for the tips, and products that work every time.

Won't use anything else.

I have been trusting and using Cactus Juice and Cactus Juice chambers for years and won't use anything else.  Those who have problems, their issues can be traced back to not following directions as prescribed on the site.  I have never had an issue but then again I follow instructions - go figure.

Great Product

I’ve used Alumilite Clear and Clear Slow as well as the Cactus Juice stabilizer and dyes all from TurnTex. 
and I can say without a doubt the products are all top notch and the service from TurnTex is above OUTSTANDING. Quick shipments are fantastic but the the ability to get quick responses to user questions is over the top in this day and age. I will definitely be ordering from TurnTex for my casting projects.
