Customer Comments

It works great and is easy to work with.It is a great product. 

I am just getting into stabilizing wood blanks for my ink pens.  I haven't had a chance to use the product yet.  I can say that they provide very fast service even when the owner is away.  When I made my original order, two of the dyes were on back order so I put my email in to be notified when they were back in stock.  It didn't take very long for them to get some more and have it shipped to me.  I look forward to the many great things that will be achieved using their products!!

I had one of by best online shopping experiences with TurnTex. The product does exactly what it advertises, and the order shipped the same day it was ordered.

I could not ask for better service.

When i first decided to start stabilizing i got input from the guys on woodbarter.com. they told me about turntex and cactus juice. So here i am. Great product and great service. Thanks, Robert aka chippin-in

I have made 2 purchases from Turn Tex Woodworks and on both occasions I received prompt service. The shipping was VERY quick and the products arrived in good condition. I will be buying from Turn Tex Woodworks again. 

My wife and I are just getting into making call / pen blanks. Great website, everything we needed to get started (info & materials) Thank you from Manitoba Canada!

looking forward to doing business with you again!

The web page said owner out of town but someone would be there to complete orders so I wasn't expecting anything too quick. Wow was I surprised, received shipping info that evening and received the package 2 days later. Next order will be coming very soon, very happy with service.

Has arrived
Everything OK
Thank you very much  !! :))

This was only my second order from Turntex but once again I was pleased with the promptness of the shipping and the communication that accompanied it.  I foresee many  purchases in the future.

Curtis, 

Another plus of doing business with Turntex is that I can expect my order to be at my house in no more than 3 days.   

That's service! 

Thanks again,

Curtis gave me info on building a vac tank. It worked great.

If anyone is wondering I stabilized some Baltic birch plywood gears and it worked fine.

As always very satisfied and happy with order. Super fast shipping and can always call and talk to a human if you have any questions. Thanks again Randy Gill

I've received my Stabilizing Chamber and am looking forward to using it to make sure stunning pieces of jewellery from stabilized wood and resin. The chamber was well packaged for international travel and all of the pieces arrived in tip top shape. I'm glad I made my purchase. Just a note to others if you're considering purchasing one that the suggested lead time may not be accurate. I contacted Curtis after waiting a few weeks longer than the suggested time and he assured me my order was in the queue, I just had to wait a little longer.

shipping very fast I was delighted 

I don't often leave feedback.  However this company is the best!  Their shipping is fast and reasonable.  I called with a question and I actually received a phone call back.  I was treated courteously and with respect.  Their product is top notch and have already purchased 10 gallons of the cactus juice and 16lbs of the Alumilite.  I will be a long term customer for sure.

Curtis was so very helpful choosing the right products for my needs, and saving money on unneeded items. It was like talking with a trusted friend. There is all the information on his web site to get you going but he still patiently answered all my questions. I'm very pleased.

my order was processed and on my porch in just a few days and was correct in every way. 

i completed my first order of Cactus Juice as a proof of concept.  The shipping was on point and the follow-up customer service is something that has been long missing in the world of online ordering, makes me feel like I am walking in the corner hardware store. Keep up the good work. I'll be placing a larger order soon. 

Thanks

The source for Alumilite casting resin, IMO. Easy to order, just the right amount of communication, reliable packaging. I'm confident that I'll be back to shop TurnTex Woodworks again.

I buy Alumilite from Turn Tex because their shipping prices are much better than from Alumilite themselves. Thank you for the great shipping prices!!

Thank you Curtis!  Extremely happy with the quick service I got from you.  This was my first order from you but hopefully won't be the last! Will be making my first attempt at stabilizing this weekend and if I'm successful then I will definitely be contacting you for more product. Depending on how successful I am I intend to attempt creating acrylic/wood fusion blanks.  Thanks again!

After a few attempts with other similar products with not as cool as expected results, TurnTex helped me achieve my goal. Read the instructions (and follow em') and you will get the results they state as possible. Shipping is fast and fair.  If you are on the fence like I was THIS WORKS.

I've done a few orders until now. The products are very good. The delivery is fast. Thanks Curtis.

TurnTex  offers fast service all the way around. With the added option to call "Curtis" and get answers to any and all of the dumb questions you might have. Thanks for everything Curtis.

Thank you for the prompt shipment and detailed information.  I look forward to learning the capabilities.

I have recently been interested in casting my own pen blanks.  After quite a bit of research I decided to go with Alumilite.  I have turned PR blanks before and I am not a fan, the smell, how brittle they are, I just do not like the PR.  I bought some of your Cactus Juice (which I love btw) and had a good experience with you when I purchased that.  I wanted to continue to give my business to Curtis when I decided to purchase the Alumilte Clear.  Between the fast response to questions on my previous order, fair pricing, and the quality of the product, I will definitely be restocking here.  

Thank you for your excellent service and products.  I bought both the stabilizing and casting chemicals along with some dyes on the recommendation of a long-time friend.  Followed your instructions to a T with my first stabilization - Black Ash Burl - and it went PERFECT.  Even put some reddish-orange dye in it.  The blanks were soft and porous when I started and now are rock hard and heavy.  I will be using your products and recommending them to others.

I love the resin! I gave a presentation today to 140 woodwokers in Columbus, Ohio on wood stabilizing. I recommended your products and website.

Turntex gives the same customer satisfaction that I give to my customers, prompt service and shipping. Curtis will take time out of his day to talk to you about Any concerns you may have. Excellent business and Great prices! 

I recently placed something like my tenth order or thereabouts (could be more, could be less).  It was the first time I had a problem figuring out how to use PayPal Credit.  I gave Curtis a call and he talked me through the process.  I know Curtis has a lot on his plate and is busier than a one-armed paper hanger what with running TurnTex and going to shows, but, he still takes the time to help out the drooling brain dead.  Still love the products, still love the customer service.  Thanks, Curtis.

I have placed two orders with this company and have had absolutely no problems what so ever. I will continue purchasing this product from this company and I highly recommend you do the same!!!!

Hey there,

I think I've looked at every video containing your "Cactus Juice".  I have many uses for it to stabilize porous stone, primarily opal, but occasionally turquoise, rhyolite and even some petrified wood.  Its always interesting to me the amount of crossover from one industry to another.  There's a museum that has developed various polymers for sale that they needed in there lab for stabilizing fragile fossils.  Their products however are very pricey.  I guess they operate under a different paradigm than others?  Of course I got the "Juice" and a vacuum seal broke on the vacuum machine.  (Argg) I'll tell you how it goes when I'm up and running again.

I recently placed my first order after watching several you tube videos and doing a good bit of reading about turntex. Since I am in Texas about 200 miles or so from turnex shipping was very fast. Cactus juice arrived very well packaged. I tried some spalted maple pen blanks for my first try. Followed the directions and everything went very well. The blanks turned out to weigh about 2 1/2 times what they were when I started. Turned one pen as a test and it was more like turning acrylic than wood. I intend to stabilize some wood for other projects. When I need to I will be ordering from turntex again.

I recently placed my first order for Cactus Juice, dye and some vac pot components. The service was fast and communications on my shipment was great.

I liked the products and service so well, I just pre ordered a 6 inch pot.

We have been using your cactus juice and aluminite  with great results. Customer service has been A one. Always recommend your produce

I've been dealing with Curtis for years now, as my orders have grown, the service hasn't changed! Always spot on, fast deliver! 

Thank you guys! 

I ordered the Cactus Juice after I purchased a qt bottle to try out. I just stabilized some high quality redwood burl I Cannot wait to get it on the lathe. I will be back at another time with some pics.

Placed order one afternoon and it was delivered two days later. That's pretty good considering how big Texas is!

Attended one of Curtis' classes and learned alot. His knowledge and experience made the class very educational.

Quick shipping, decent price to ship. Great product. I have placed several orders and all were what i needed and useful  no bs, no bad products have come from TurnTex

very  nice work, but i need some stripes for my car to make some commercial for you

Curtis not only makes the best vacuum chamber for small wood turning projects, but is great at answering questions and giving advice.  If he is available to answer the telephone, you will get more help and advice that you thought was possible.

On my second gallon. Everything so far is working just fine. You also did a good demo in Wadsworth Ohio. I learned a lot.

Thanks Geoffrey

The shipment was fast! The product?... Unbelievably great!  We have been turning for less than a year, I'm having a blast dying and stabilizing pen blanks. The process is easy, the help section of the web site is informative and the results are beautiful. I will definitely be a repeat customer!!!! 

Second order. You have all my business!

Customer service, speedy delivery, personal (one on one) assistance from Curtis....not an answering service.

I'm from NY....can find fault with a glass of water! Not here!

Thank you.

Great folks to deal with. Thanks  Kenneth

I recently purchased a gallon of cactus juice. Excellent service, fast shipping and an excellent product. I WILL BUY AGAIN.

.... Which is a great thing as this company, the owner, and the employees are top notch; not only in their products, but more importantly, the quality of service & support they offer. If all companies operated with this focus, then it would be quite easy providing feedback...just copy and paste this feedback!

Thanks Curtis for a great product and all the support you give your customers!

I make custom knives and stabilize my own knife scales.  I have dealt with Curtis Seebeck on a few occasions and have always found him to be very helpful and professional. Products have always been shipped in a very timely manner.   He will go above and beyond what most vendors do to help his customers.  I will continue to do my business with TurnTex Woodworks as long as I make knives.

A handshake and a smile knowing there is a personal commitment to deliver outstanding products, along with support, followup and standby late into the evening if necessary is a good ol' way to do business.
