 Ordered my 1st gallon of Cactus Juice. It is almost all gone now. I have run several batches of really dry spalted maple, spalted hackberry and some super spongy oak in the last few days. It is all hard as a rock now and easy to turn. I am extremely happy with the cactus juice. I have tried other wood hardeners without much luck, they were messy, almost ruined my pump, and impossible to clean out of the vacuum chambers. The CJ washes out with warm soapy water with no problem. I am a believer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My order arrived faster than expected. Curtis is an open and honest businessman and craftsman. He willingly shares his expertise with anyone who asks and stands by his products. 

Hi Curtis......

Thanks for the help on CJ regarding Best Value Vacs.  They have updated their website and no longer state that CJ can harm their pumps.  Also, they have a photo of CJ as part of their site.  Maybe you are now supplying them with CJ. 

Thanks for the quick supply of the order.  I choose to work with you rather than other resin suppliers now that i have connected with you.  Great products and great service.  You must be a VERY busy man!

I love the Oven Tamer II Precision Temperature Controller with Auto Off Timer that I purchased from Turn Tex. This product works great and makes a toaster oven much safer and temperature stable when in use.

Excellent and fast service!!! Thank you Curtis!

We got things right the the first time.  I received what I ordered as promised.  What could be better?

Grateful Georg

I phoned to ask about Cactus Juice after hours. My call was answered and order taken. I mentioned my need in a hurry and all was taken care of and received the order in two days in good condition and the next day a request for the condition and a copy of the transaction. I will order again!!!!

I recently purchased some Cactus Juice to stabilize some of my soft rocks. I know this isn't what Cactus Juice was intended for but using it to stabilize soft rocks is another option and proves its credibility as a stabilizing source.

Curtis O. Seebeck provides not only materials and techniques to help craftspeople achieve satisfaction using materials otherwise unusable but devotes many hours of personal time answering questions relating to correct equipment and procedures for stabilizing. Normally a recording would be the typical service one would expect these days.

Thanks Curtis for making it easier,

Great people to do business with. Fast shipping. Top quality products.

Ordered 4 gallons of cactus juice and got notice of shipment the very next day. Order arrived in prompt fashion and in excellent condition. My wife was shocked as to the weight as she was at home when it arrived lol. 

Thank you for the great service and product.

Just starting with stabilizing and wanted to try cactus juice.  Ordered on line from the uk and was very pleased with the service and promp delivery.

TurnTex customer service goes above and beyond what I expected. The resources on their website offer complete information on how to use their products. And if I don't quite understand something, Curtis is available by chat or email to answer my questions. I feel like I am dealing with friends, not just a "company".

I am very happy with your cactus juice and your service.

My first order here was filled very fast and the cactus juice works great. Will be doing business again very soon.

My last two orders of Cactus Juice showed up quicker than I would have ever expected!  If anyone does business online, TurnTex sets the standard!!

I ordered more CJ and some fittings and order was received only 4 days later.  I am extremely happy with service and products.

I love the cactus juice and your customer service is great.  Thanks.

This is my third one gallon container of Cactus juice. This is a great product that I will continue to use. The service, communications, and delivery is second to none.

Couldn't be happier!  I received unsolicited guidance from Curtis on a forum in regards to my old stabilizing setup.  Helped me out with some science and now my blanks are soaking up resin like crazy.  Greatly appreciate everything!

Thanks for getting cactus juice to me in such short order. You guys are the best.

Curtis continually provides outstanding customer service whether I'm purchasing a product or asking a question about another process. I especially appreciate him following discussions on FB in which i can gather information without bothering him directly. 

I tried a couple of resins for stabilizing and they did ok. Most were more expensive than the  cactus juice with no price breaks. Not only does cactus juice work great but the customer service is second to none. Curtis and his team provide everything needed to include coaching. Top shelf??

Received another order of Cactus Juice. I have made several orders from TurnTex and have been very pleased with them all. My vacuum chamber even came from TurnTex.

I highly recommend this company. Outstanding and prompt service and help is only a call away. 

We ordered A vacuum chamber 6" by 12" and we order Alumilite slow and Alumilite white. Customer service was good. Look forward to getting things going with the vacuum chamber and the resin.

Great service and very quickly dispatched and delivered to UK Will definitely be using again once I get through this little lot.

Thank you for the fast delivery of my order. So many folks will not ship to Alaska, I thank you

I recently placed on order for a gallon of cactus juice and 4 large jars of dye. Both were received in a timely fashion and the packaging was done well so that nothing was damaged upon receiving the package. Thanks for the great service.

Good evening , I received my new vacuum chamber on Thursday last week and only had time to unpack the product.

 The fit and finish is very well done , I am impressed and very happy with the chamber.

There is a bit more to my story and I do believe that kudos are well deserved to for this company , the first chamber that was shipped was damaged in  transit I contacted Curtis at TurnTex and he kindly built another chamber and shipped it right away, thankfully the second chamber was in tack.

The customer service that was provide by Curtis is top notch and I would not hesitate to deal with Turn Tex again, it was a pleasure  and a very nice change  to deal with a company that not only cares about its product, but the customer as well. 

I do know that I will be ordering from this company again in the very new future.

Once again a big thank you to Curtis and the TurnTex team, a job very well done

I've purchased a couple items from TurnTex and will continue to do so. The customer service is above most places I have dealt with in the past. I have been more than happy with the products I've purchased and HIGHLY recommend them

Recently bought am order of cactus juice to start attempting wood stabilizing. Order was shipped and delivered very promptly which I appreciate.  The one thing I am most please about is the detailed descriptions on the website and mailed with the product on how to optimistically use cactus juice and all the steps involved.  Will purchase more if all goes well.

Got the 16# kit. Fast shipping and great product. Thanks Curtis!!

Curtis and crew are great. Rapid service and delivery.

He also gets back to me when I have a question.

Thank You Mike M.

I recently purchased the 6x10" vacuum chamber with the tool free anti-tip kit to increase what I can do with my pen turning hobby. There was a bit of delay due to Curtis' family vacation, which I expected since he posts things like that right on his webpage.  He followed up with a personal email explaining the backlog once he was back in the shop. As a general rule, this kind of service is the exception now a days, not the norm.

Vacuum chamber was actually bigger than I'd planned for, which is a good thing! I only ordered a quarter of Cactus Juice, so I need to order more before I can run my first batch of pen blanks! Looking forward to it.

Thanks, Curtis, for the great personalized service and for a really well made product.

fast shipping great product easy to use

We absolutely love TurnTex products.  We have a Turn Tex stabilizing chamber and use cactus juice for our stabilizing. Customer service is A+ and we never have a problem with our orders.  Shipping is super fast!

Thanks!

Fast and excellent service as usual.

We use Cactus juice and Alumilite daily and the service at TurnTex assures me that i can get the products i need quickly. I even choose to drive down sometimes just to see them and show my appreciation. Thanks for the great service.

I had trouble getting my shipping straight. Gaige sent me personal emails and even called me to get it right.  Got my order in only three days.  I'll be coming back when I need more product.

quick shipping, easy to use product

Over the past 2 years I have gone through over 15 gallons of this stuff and will continue ordering from turntex.com.

Great product but even better customer service.

Cactus Juice is a great product!! Allows me to use practically rotten wood and I love that there are no strong solvents involved. 

The shipping was incredibly fast! 

i am very happy with my purchases!!

I love Cactus Juice, I am on my second order, it all works good. My step father carved little monkeys out of peach pits, but it was so thin they would break. After stabilizing with the cactus juice, he hasn't had one break. This is a great product, I recommend with 5 stars.

Great service at good prices and lots of good info on the website.

In all my orders I've placed I've never had one problem.  Shipping is extremely fast and service is top notch.  My definite go to for my supplies.

Received my Cactus Juice even before my vacuum pump arrived from amazon and both were ordered the same day!  Getting everything set up and ready to go has taken some time but my first batch of wood out of the juice and cooked off yesterday and started turning today. I could not be happier with the cactus juice and how it turned some soft and marginal punky wood into a great project bowl! Thanks very much and I will highly recommend this to anyone who has soft and punky wood sitting around the shop!

It took quite awhile to get my chamber.  That said, I was okay with it when I had information explaining where it was in manufacture and estimated delivery time.  Product is great and I look forward to more purchases with you. Maybe there is a way to distribute better information for orders that are going to take considerably longer than expected.  As a business owner here in Idaho I appreciate feedback as well. I hope the tone does not express frustration or anger as neither of those emotions exist.  I only offer this advice as something to look into to make your operation better for you and your customers.

Thanks

First of all I need to thanks the excellent support that Turn Tex Woodworks gave to me.

As i was traveling to the USA for a short period I requested to make the delivery in only a short window, and it was done as it was agreed and only paying for the cheapest delivery option.

I have not try the product yet, but as soon as I try it I will inform the results.

Thanks!

Regards

Juan

Thank you for the great quality products. I'm looking forward to purchasing more from you soon.

Dear Curtis,

was a little apprehensive regarding shipping, customs etc as I am in Europe.  I am pleased to say though, that delivery worked like a charm.  The shipment arrived just a week after I ordered it, perfectly packed and customs cleared to my door.  That was absolutely perfect. Now I am excited to get to work with the resin... 

Many thanks for the super service and my very best wishes to you and your team.

Mark

Extremely quick delivery. Almost as quick as local delivery 

Thanks
