I receive Quickly and as described. Very Satisfied with this stabilizing w Cactus juice! Works fantastic! I will be buying more from this Seller again!!!

My experience stabilizing my own spalted wood with Cactus Juice has been great. Not only does Cactus Juice work nicely, but the process is very easy, and Curtis has been very good about help with any minor technical details. I would recommend Cactus Juice to anyone wishing to stabilize . Bill Kimbrough

This is my third order and and each time I'm amazed at how fast I get the product. It's nice to deal with a company that will answer questions and help a new guy get things figured out. I can't imagine any better service anywhere. Thanks again

I have used Turn Tex products for 5+ years. The quality has been superb. The technical information on their website is very helpful and I have found it to be very accurate. When I had additional questions Curtis has been very responsive. I am very particular in the products I use. Would highly recommend their products. Carl Smith

I ordered my Turntex vacuum chamber around 6 months ago together with the "Cactus Juice" resin. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the product and the customer service I have received from Curtis. If you read this Curtis, you can count on me being a regular customer from now on. Thank you Sandy (Jacklore knives England)

First time user and everything went very well. Had no problems stabilizing or curing. Very happy with the results. Thanks

I recently purchased a vacuum chamber and 1 gallon of Cactus Juice. I am very pleased with the build quality of the chamber. But I'm very impressed with the customer service Curtis provides. He has answered numerous questions for me, via email, almost as if he were in my garage carrying on a conversation. He clearly is proud to operate his business at the highest standards of customer satisfaction. I will definitely continue to by products from Turn Tex!

I appreciate Curtis and his commitment to our industry. He produces a good product and I stand behind his integrity and product. Thank you for a great service! The Burl Hunter

No problems, Fast shipping. Follow Curtis' instructions and you will be set up to go. Works great. Thanks

I have ordered two stabilizing chambers from Turntex Woodworks and continue to order cactus juice. Curtis has always been helpful and works with me when I encounter shipping problems due to my location. I trust their products and will continue to order from them for many years to come.

I haven't tried the product yet but it looks very well made and I appreciate the good faith with the payment. Thanks Steve Denney

More than pleased with the quality of the vacuum chamber that you supplied.Cactus juice is easy to use.The wood I have stabilised so far turned out great.Will try stabilising horn next.

Sorry Curtis I forget to leave some feed back. What can I say its been about 5 years since we started doing business together and I got my first gal of cactus juice. since than I have ordered several gals and a few different chambers. I cant say enough about your newest chambers. they are perfect and so easy to clean. some days I mite run as many as 8-to 10 different batches of wood during a day.my competition has been blown away they can't compete with the type of scales we are producing. and at the cost we are making them for all thanks to cactus juice. Thanks again Curtis you should see another order soon. Log in to our web site and see some of the new stuff we have been making lclhuntingshop.com

I use wood, antler, and horn for knife handles and use Cactus Juice to stabilize those natural materials. I learned how to do this from reading on the internet (many sources) and watching videos on the Turntex website. Turntex products are great! They are easy to use, cost effective, and extraordinarily effective. His videos are very informative and easy to understand. I have been totally satisfied with Turntex products (vacuum chamber and all accessories and the Cactus Juice itself) and plan to buy more juice. If there is a need to stabilize porous materials, Turntex is the answer.

Great service and fast shipping, my woods seem to love this Juice and I like what it does to my woods...!\r\nGV

Great communication, prompt delivery and well packaged. Both the Cactus Juice and vacuum vessel/valve etc are performing as required, I wish I heard about Turntex 3 years ago! I was able to order a slightly longer vessel as my blades have huge handles, I was running out of the box in about 10 mins even with the need to heat shrink a piece of tube to fit the one supplied, in all a great service with a personal touch.

Curtis is a pleasure to work with. My Cactus Juice order was here within a couple of days. The resin itself is great for stabilizing exotic hardwoods for custom cutlery. It is easy to work with and the wood retains its color and character. I highly recommend TurnTex and the products he sells.

Always have a great experience with turntex and Curtis. I even messed my order up last time and they got it sorted and sent out correct with no issues. When I've had problems with my method of getting everything right CURTIS has always taken time to help. Can't say enough positive things about this company!

The owner Curtis actually called me while I was in my shop to answer a question I had. Seriously, how many owners would take the time and have the patience to talk to his customers like he did in my case? What a fantastic guy and he was able to break down the process is layman's terms so I could understand LOL. In addition, his product is bar none the best on the market! Darrin S.

Absolute pleasure to deal with. Instant dispatch of the Cactus Juice that I ordered which arrived in excellent packaging, wicked fast from the USA. I will be order my next lot very soon. Thanks very much Curtis :-)

Curtis, I appreciate your quick response to my question re: the casting resin and dye. Your shipping with good will is much appreciated as I have done the same for my customers who have purchased pens and etc. from me. The quality of the products make them very easy to work with and your willingness to share your knowledge is very helpful. Thank you for the integrity you have. Dave Hunter HunterMadeProducts

Incredible product! I'm a forester and I make duck calls. I specifically look for spalted and rotting wood. Cactus Juice turns the punkiest and most rotten wood into a solid and beautiful and usable product.

I'm a new knife maker and I've been using this product from the beginning. Anytime I have questions or need advise your are eager to assist me.

I have been using cactus juice now for about two years. The only problems I've had were my own fault, which after talking with Curtis on the phone I got straightened out immediately. Great product, great service, couldn't ask for a better experience all around. I will continue to trade with Curtis for as long as he is in business!

Delivered quickly. Had a few questions which Curtis answered then gave me some tips for a first-time user. Stabilized my first batch of Spalted Tamarind and it worked well when turned - no tearouts or splits. Will be ordering more! Thanks Curtis.Enjoyed talking to you! Bob

Hi , I received your cactus juice shipped fast to me. you don't waist any time shipping! Thank you. This juice works wonderful. I like how hard the wood is after it is treated . It's a pleasure to turn and finish my pen blanks. Thank you for making this product available. you can bet I will be ordering more from you. My half gal. is all used up. Can't wait to get some more. Lots more wood to treat.Thanks again, Bill T

Great service. Order was here in 2 days. The only problem was there was some leakage due to loose bottle caps. When I emailed was told that you have switched back to your original cap supplier and you would give me a discount coupon for my next order.

I have been using the Turn Tex vacuum chamber for a few years now and while I have have some problems over the years I must say that customer service has been great. With my latest order of Cactus Juice, I again had a small problem. The gallon bottle of Juice leaked during transit (only lost a little bit of liquid). However, because of the way that the bottle was packaged (wrapped in a heavy plastic bag with double-sealed top which was itself contained in another heavy plastic bag and then boxed), the mess was well contained and easy to clean up. The system works great with the newer design being a big improvement over the original. While it may not always be perfect, Curtis always goes the extra mile to make things right.

Customer service is the best in the business for sure. Always willing to communicate and willing to make things right if something goes wrong. Thanks again. Says it cleared customs, so should be here anytime now.

No problem here, Cactus Juice was shipped fast. Stabilizer unit works the way its suppose to. Stabilized some spalted wood and it doubled in weight. Thanks Curtis for your help

Cactus Juice continues to elevate our business with quality products. Curtis provides a superior level of customer service. He extends a wonderful blend of business and personal qualities!

A friend introduced me to pen making just as I was retiring, and it fit right in with resurrecting a few old hobbies that had been shelved for a while. I'm new at it, but I love it. It is very satisfying when the final product comes out well or even better than you expected. Your Cactus Juice and your service has been better than expected, adding more pleasure to the experience of pen making. I look forward to talking with you (as I do have questions) and purchasing from you again in the future. Ken

As always, outstanding service. Shipping faster than you can believe! I am a repeat customer of several years and will continue to be so. Great Job Curtis!

Another order of Cactus Juice, again, great service, fast shipping, always a pleasure! What can I say, Curtis is what every Business person should be! He and his business model are old school ethic's with all the modern technological advance's. Quality product's and excellent customer service. Period.

Awesome stuff! Works like a charm!

I found TurnTex products being talked about in some forums. They discussed the quality of the products and service. Every word is true, I am amazed with the service you have provided and I look forward to purchasing from you in the future. Great Job!!!

This is my first order of cactus juice so I ordered the smallest amount to see if I like it. I like the product and I will be ordering more in the future. The only issue I had was the bottle leaked during shipping. I'm not sure of the amount that leaked out because I don't know how much there was to begin with. Great product though.

As we refine our stabilization process we learn more each day. Ordered another two gallons of CJ for moving into dyed woods. The order was handled promptly and I received the products very quickly. \r\n\r\nI would like to recommend that we add a user group to the TT web site.. It would be quite beneficial to be able to exchange Ideas and experiences with the products.\r\n\r\nAnother useful piece of information would be to maintain a list of various woods and the characteristics that would inform if the wood was a good candidate for stabilization, and if so, recommendations on techniques for straight, single dye, multi-dye.

You cannot ask for better customer service! I had an issue that I could not figure out. I left a message for Curtis. He called me back within a reasonable amount of time. We brainstormed a solution and he sent me free replacement material. What else could I ask for! Thank you for the great service.\r\nRegards,\r\nGreg W.

This was my second order for Cactus juice, product works very well and delivery was prompt. Plan to use more , thank you\r\n Harold

Curtis consistently delivers on being able to provide the best value with his Cactus Juice, and trumps that with invaluable advice on using it from both practical and artistic perspectives, including help with his packaged chambers or your own. Truly, there are fewer and fewer longstanding businesses around where you call and the person who answers the phone is the one who knows the answers from first hand experience. And, Turntex guarantees are the best around! Thank you Curtis, and best of continued success with Turntex!!

Thanks Curtis for the great service and for answering all the beginner questions that I had. I think this is number 4 gallon of juice that I have ordered and have never been disappointed with your product. Great stuff!!!

Top service, quick response, direct delivery, what more could one ask for!\r\n\r\nThanks Curtis

Highly satisfied with the service and products. I'm a custom knife maker and yes I could buy stabilized wood from several suppliers. However, I like to learn and use new products and I really like the Cactus Juice. Used it for the first time today and happy as heck. Sorry, but I had to go with another site for a vacuum chamber. I needed at least 9 inches in diameter and about 9 inches deep. Cooking my second batch now, the Juice is the way to go.

Great product. Can't wait to use it more, just looking for things to stabilize hahaha.

As usual, my order was promptly processed and shipped. Always look forward to doing business with Turntex!\r\n\r\nRob

Back for more "Juice" What can I say, I found this stuff years ago and haven't found anything close to it\s performance. It works. If you intend to use this stuff often. Buy a minimum of 1 gallon. A Gallon does an awful lot of pen blanks and knife scales. You will find other use's too. That Gallon won't be around long. As for Curtis, the guy is class. Period. Shipping is fast, always. Got a question, he knows the answer! If he doesn't know the answer, you don't need to know it either!

Thanks for the quick shipment and smooth transaction for the one gallon of Cactus Juice, Curtis!\r\nWill definitely be ordering more in the near future.\r\nTim

I haven't had a chance to use my Cactus Juice yet but if it's half as good as Curtis' communication and support, I won't be disappointed.

I have been very happy with the service from TurnTex Woodworks. The timing of the shipping and the customer service is fantastic. I generally receive a notification the day of purchase that the product is has been shipped. I also find that the product I purchased is always ready to be used and is a very good product. I use the Cactus Juice and add dyes to stabilize wood for knife handles and pens. This product is fantastic and top notch.
