Da Shizzle

I keep coming back purchasing more because the stuff just flat out works.  Purchasing from an individual I know is an added bonus.  Customer service is absolutely awesome.

Very Helpful

I am new to stabilizing and called Curtis for some tips in getting the right pump for me.  He was patient and helpful.  I am on to my second batch of Juice!

Really need Juice proof chamber

I had been using a vacuum chamber with an acrylic lid.  Curtis warned me of the danger of the lid developing cracks and imploding.  Then I saw a YouTuber's video of that exact accident.  He narrowly missed receiving a 3 inch sharp-edged chunk of acrylic in his face!  I decided that I had been  fortunate enough up to now, and would not risk it again.  So I bought the chamber from TurnTex and feel more confident that I have reduced that risk.  Most of us woodworker/woodturners are surrounded with risk.  Do what you can to protect yourself!

Best on the market

Cactus Juice is in my opinion is the absolute best solution for wood stabilization. I can get great results for my knife handles that is consistent and gives them great water and temperature resistance.  Since it is non-flammable and can be used with vacuum pumps, I can get full penetration (unlike surface stabilization solutions).

Long Time Customer Review

I've been ordering cactus juice from TurnTex for 4-5 years now. Cactus juice is a great product and I have been getting results comparable to professional stabilizers after a lot of practice and recording my results. My latest order shipped out surprising fast! The package arrived packed with care and consideration for the customer.

I would, and I do recommend TurnTex to fellow knife makers and enthusiasts.

Very helpful!

We were looking into wood stabilization and Curtis was so helpful with explaining what we would need and how to operate it all. He was quick to offer tips and was always very fast with getting back to us. Very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend.

Cactus Juice did the Trick

I was having a very difficult time trying to turn Black Palm wood.  It has hard and soft grain and resulted in many exploded blanks, no matter the sharpness of the tools or anything else I tried.  I read the help articles and how to and ordered some Cactus Juice to try.  After following the instructions, I was able to turn a stabilized blank with little issue.  I also really like the clean-up with soap and water.  I'll be using this for future projects as well.

TurnTex consistently delivers excellent service. The shipping is prompt, and the packaging is done well. The quality of their items is outstanding, and occasionally, they include a little extra surprise in the package. Being able to consult with Curtis for advice adds significant value, making every penny spent worthwhile.

Thank you!

First time ordering, and I was treated like I was their most valuable client. Like any "NEWBIE" I was filled with apprehension and concerns about making tragic mistakes. I sent an email with my questions....a reply was quickly received and my nervousness was quickly abated. Highly recommend!

Very pleased

I won a gift certificate at the Midwest turners gathering in Chicago. 1st ever gathering for me. Loved it, but back to the review.

Ordered gallon of Cactus juice. It arrived quickly, and was extremely well packaged.

Curtis, from Turntex, took time to personally send an email about the company's dynamics, and left times to contact him if had any questions. 

I  haven't done a lot of stabilizing yet, but know where I will be going in the future for supplies. 

If you haven't tried stabilizing yet, it isn't really difficult and it makes such a huge difference. 

Yes, sometimes I  get talking and ramble. Lol

Customer service

I wanted to take a moment to commend Curtis O. Seebeck on responding to both email and phone call regarding an issue I was having with stabilizing wood. With his help my problem was quickly solved. Being very new to stabilizing and trying my hand at double dyeing wood Curtis took the time to walk me thru my process and made suggestions that proved invaluable. 
Curtis is a man that stands behind his product, thank you for all your help.

This cactus juice saved me $$$

I'm using the CJ on my rocks. I have a wide variety of rocks that I slab, cut, and polish. Most have minor fractures, and some have soft material mixed with the rock. I stabilize 80% of my rocks, so when I'm grinding or polishing my rocks, they don't break. I'm finding that the rock hardness is constant. The process is very easy, as I found on the YouTube channels. I buy direct and found the product gets shipped same day. The folks are great in helping you. Wish I would have known sooner. I highly recommend Turntex.

Great Juice, Great Customer Service

The folks at TurnTex are providing top notch customer service which complements the best stabilizing fluid on the market. Im a knife maker who uses entirely salvaged wood for handled. I have called TT several times to help me dial in the best methods for dealing with the varying wood types and moisture levels. Also helps that they ship fast.

Finally, and very happy!

I learned about TurnTex products roughly 10 years ago, and have been using Cactus Juice ever since - excellent product and never a problem - it has always far exceeded Curtis’ claims regarding longevity…and yes I keep it in my garage fridge.

I used Curtis’ original vacuum chambers as inspiration to create my own chamber, glued together from 1/2” polycarbonate sheets, and have used it with much success. After years of using it, I noticed the walls of my homemade chamber were starting to show “crazing”, or what I take to be impending cracks - so I finally pulled the trigger on ordering a TurnTex 8” chamber.

OMG, I am so pleased and impressed! Without changing anything else, besides swapping out with your chamber and tubing, my vacuum went up more than a  whole additional inHg of vacuum depth - now just better than 29inHg. And I’m at 330ft altitude, so while not perfect, that is dang good! 

I am delighted with this purchase, Curtis, and very impressed with shipping speed…from yours to mine in Seattle in 5 days far exceeded my expectations.

This has completely rekindled my interest in dyeing and stabilization - I’m so glad I stopped waiting!

Great Product and support with very quick shipping.

I am new to the process of Stabilizing Wood and It is great doing business with a company that has the support in place to help when needed. I was able to achieve excellent results on my first run of blanks. This is my second order of Cactus Juice, and I know it won’t be the Last.

My impression after ordering from Turn Tex

Curtis runs his business in a way that you don't see much of anymore.  He cares about his customers and backs up what he says!  I ordered Cactus Juice and resin from him but had a couple questions since I am pretty new to resin turning.  I left a message and he called back and was more than willing to help me with anything I needed.  The order was  completed and shipped in a timely manner before he even called back!   I was just SO impressed with his company.  I will be ordering again.  Turn Tex, LLC is wonderful!

Very happy customer

I recently ordered a half gallon of cactus juice and 2 dyes from Turn Tex as a first time buyer. I usually stick to companies I have ordered from before or Amazon, just to avoid complications, but could not find one of the colors I was looking for in stock there so I googled and found turn tex. I'm glad I went this route as the the products arrived in just a few days and the prices were very fair. After receiving my order I learned that TurnTex is a small family run business [through a follow up e- mail insuring my satisfaction with my order, providing me outlets had I needed further assistance.]  This is the type of company and shopping experience that will keep me coming back anytime I need something  thatTurntex provides, as I prefer supporting small family businesses when I can. especially when they offer great customer service.  Thank you Turn tex for doing business the right way and I hope to see nothing but growth and success in your journey

I'm brand new to wood stabilizing and dying.  The products from TurnTex have been easy to use and the quality is fantastic!  Really nothing bad to say about my experience so far.  I still have much to learn to improve my results, but the information provided here makes that learning a low hurdle.

Versatile and simple

I've been using Cactus Juice for about 4 years to stabilize wood for knife handles. Cactus Juice also works extremely well on antlers; I've been able to save several pieces that I would have thrown away without stabilization. Recently I started using Cactus Juice for lathe turned goblets and bowls. The set up is simple and costs are low. Having Cactus Juice stabilization as a tool provides lots of interesting options.
