Small Order

I placed a small order and it was handled just like a large order.  It was shipped same day I made the order.  It was packed well and was received sooner than expected.  Curtis has always stood behind the products he sells and is ready to give technical assistance if needed.  Thanks, Bruce D.

Lightning fast delivery

Wow. You put Amazon to shame with delivery time. I had my Cactus Juice and dyes the next day. I have watched your demo video twice all the way through and am formulating in my mind the exact process to get the best result. i am a segmenter and want my Paduak to stay red/orange and my purpleheart and yellowheart to maintain their vibrant color - and even boost it some. I enjoy processes so this adventure should be fun for me. Thank you!

Only stabilizing resin you need.

Ive used Cactus Juice from Curtis since 2017-2018. Ive never had an issue with any of resin. As long as you take care to follow his simple instructions for use. Starting with being sure your wood is 0% moisture. Having positive results is just a matter of proper use and storage in between uses. Majority of issues Ive read over the years always falls back to user error. I order multiple gallons at a time never concerned or worried about the quality of the product. The absolute best stabilizing resin for small businesses or home casters.

"Woodturning Crack" Addiction

Curtis:

   Thank you for shipping my 4-gallon order quickly and well packaged. They arrived in perfect shape, and I have already used up one and a half gallons! A fellow woodturner asked me to stabilize two large pieces for him: one 4x6x9 cherry and one 12x12x2 spalted maple. I then did six pieces of varying sizes for myself. I have those "baking" right now, and tomorrow I plan on making hybrid charcuterie boards. My friend has yet to turn his two pieces, but I hope he shows them to me when done!

Great Product, Great Resource

I am quite impressed with the products I have from TurnTex as well as the great support and fast deliveries.  My plans for retirement are to spend more time with this equipment and making some interesting turnings.  The quality is excellent and I could not be happier with my purchases.

New to Resin

I recently just ordered a gallon of Cactus Juice. First time I have tried this process. Stabilized some Blue Mahoe and it almost tripled the wight afterwards. Directions were very simple and everything cleaned up nicely. Awesome product and I am sure my blanks will turn out better the next round

Always the best service!

I’ve ordered resins from TurnTex several times over the last few years. Curtis goes out of his way to provide his customers with the best service possible, and is the most knowledgeable source for information pertaining to resin casting and stabilizing. It’s obvious that customer satisfaction is a priority here!

Customer Service

Beyond the fact that shipping is fast and orders are exactly what you ask for, the customer service from Turn Tex is pretty much unbeatable. I have reach out on facebook and email and never had to wait long for a response. Curtis makes every effort for his customers to suceed and have the right products. For example, my first order I ordered a chamber and a hose kit. Instead of just sending what I ordered and taking my money, Curtis emailed and explained that I did not need the kit and that his chambers come with everything. That may not mean much but man it meant the world to me that he was reading the orders and taking the time to reach out. In short, I cant brag on this company enough. I wish everyone took as much pride in their products and service as Curtis does. Thank you, Justin

Repeat customer

It's been a few years since my last order and I believe the formula has changed since I was last using the resin. Still the same great customer service and very happy with the outcome on the stabilization. I have some Cherry burl, Oak burl, and Maple burl that I harvested from trees on my property a few years ago. Its nice to get them ready to make into knife handles, pen blanks, and wood turnings.

Shipped quickly, good product

Very happy with my cactus juice purchase so far.  Shipped promptly.  So far I have vacuum soaked and then baked first batch of black walnut.  So far, so good but test will be when cutting out individual blanks.

Amazing company

I am very pleased with the product and the speed of delivery. The customer service is exceptional as well when needed. I ordered 4 bottles of one product and received a call in a very short time stating they only had 3 bottles. They apologized for the inconvenience and assisted me with another product. It is nice to be able to talk to a real person who is kind to their customer.

Extremely easy and great results

I recently tried my hand at stabilizing and dying wood. I'm a custom knife maker and wanted to use some wood from some historic trees damaged in storms to make handles. I purchased cactus juice and aztec gold dye. The process went smoothly and I followed the instructions exactly. I was nervous leaving the vacuum pump running overnight so I turned it off, leaving everything under vacuum. It started up in the morning and ran another 10 hours until no bubbles. I wrapped the blocks in foil, baked for 4 hours and the came out great. Almost every block doubled in weight! I was very impressed with the reduced foaming of the new product. Very different than YouTubes showing the process with the old formula.

service after sale

i have a thousand questions and curtis is patient and shares his invaluable knowledge with me. it is much appreciated as i have found few resources to guide me in stabilizing premium blocks for high end handgun grips. my knowledge grows all the time and the quality keeps getting better. i am sure there will be more questions as i go along, and i am sure curtis will keep helping. A++!

Great Service & Product

Thank you Turn Tex, 

I received the gallon of Cactus juice and the dye 2 days earlier then suggested by the delivery service. I was elated and went to work stabilizing some petrified wood. It worked like a charm as always and I look forward to testing the dye in the near future. 

I received email updates after ordering which shows me that you care about the customers. Great experience all around the I can't recommend this product and customer service enough. I have been telling all my friends as well!

Sincerely,

We are very happy with the Cactus Juice Stabilizing Resin and the Cactus Juice Dyes. The resin and liquid dyes are easy to mix and we love the bright colors the dyes produce and so do our customers. Thank you for making these products available to the wood worker community! We will be back again as we have before.

Good old fashioned integrity. !

I was having trouble with the gauge on my vacuum chamber. First of all when I contacted Turn Tex Curtis reached out to me personally. I DIDN'T EVEN BUY THE VACUUM CHAMBER FROM HIM! I purchased it from a retailer on Etsy. He didn't care where I got it. It was his product and he stood behind it no questions asked. He sent me a new gauge. Businesses with that kind of integrity are few and far between these days.

Great Product & First Class Customer Service

First and foremost, the cactus juice resin is a great product and I love what it does to curly Koa.

TurnTex is great with communication; and they will take the time to help you with whatever it is you need.

TurnTex is very prompt with shipping resin & catalyst (same day shipping to Hawaii at a reasonable rate).

Customer Service

Turntex is a great family business that I have been purchasing from for the last 3-4 years. I purchased several vacuum chambers, parts and a lot of Cactus Juice and have had no problems with anything ever. Customer service is even greater than their products which are top shelf. Almost  every order has shipped the same day as ordered. I think the main shipping guru is Gaige and he is one of the best. I’ve only have communicated with Curtis and Gaige. They were very helpful to answering questions and giving advice and very polite at all times. I had my own online business for nine years, so I know how hard it is to be at your best all the time with every customer, but they do it. Thanks again for your great products, fast shipping and customer service! Larry Simmons, BowieCorp.

The word on the street was that cactus juice from turn tex is the only stabalizing product available if you want great results. And the rumors are true, I couldn't have been more pleased with the product and crystal clear user instructions! Thank you turn tex!

Great stuff

The pearls and interference powders are my new go-to. They produce a great quality result, are easy to work with, and I like the container size making them a good value. A reliable workhorse powder for production runs.

Great Service!

It becomes quickly obvious that Curtis takes pride in - and protects his business. Providing personal attention to customers is a rapidly vanishing luxury in today's world. Aside from offering the best products in the market -  TurnTex gives its customers the greatest product at no extra charge....GREAT service!

Flawless Execution

I've been purchasing products from TurnTex for about 6 months now and every one of my orders has shipped lightning fast, packaged very well, and 100% accurate. Their products are excellent and customer service is unparalleled. You won't find someone that cares more about their customers than Curtis. All around great customer experience!

First time customer

I purchased a stabilizing chamber, cactus juice, and a pump saver on this order and a little bit later ordered some dye.  I have not used them yet due to working on maintaining a cooler temperature in my work shop before kicking off.  However, the communication, service, and shipping are fantastic during the purchasing process and afterwards.  Everything was received as ordered and I can't wait to get started.  It is obvious that Curtis cares about his customers and backs his products and services.  

In short, I highly recommend Turn Tex.
