Customer Comments

I´ve been using Cactus Juice for the last two years and will do for the rest of my life. Turn Tex products allowed me to use unknown woods in the manufacture of traditional bows. I have played with colors to create unique materials for my Patagonia Archery bows. The company's team offers excellent customer service. I´m anxious to try the new formula.

Learning how to stabilize wood was a game changer and the products found here are amazing. I was able to really level up and have so much fun learning as well. Great customer service and an all around awesome company. Highly recommend.

Turntex continues to be the best supplier out there, I always know when I place my order it will be on its way the next day.

Abundant instructions for use included, well packed and rapidly shipped, and produces the desired result. Repeat customer

I have a company ( RW Grip Frames) that manufactures Brass and aluminum Grip Frames for single action Revolvers.

We offer a line of Grip Panels to complement our Grip Frame Line.

I stabilize all of my panels now so that i can literally machine them on a small Cnc Mill with a home made dust collection unit.

This product is Nothing short of being Nectar Of the GODS.

Thanks for a not only a great product but a Godsend to our productivity. It is Fantastic.

Most all our turning is a wood/ resin combination. Without Cactus Juice, it would be impossible to get the results we do. Casters Choice mica is by far my favorite. I love that the names of colors are self-explanatory, and have the perfect number of options to provide plenty of choices without being overwhelming (who needs 17 shades of blue? LoL) I could go on and on with all the items I have ordered always meeting, usually exceeding, our expectations. Shipping is always by received the day promised, usually a day early. And it's super fast and easy to chat with a human for any and every reason you can come up with. 

I decided to do all my wood stabilisation in house so purchased 3 sizes of chamber of the last couple years along with a good supply of CJ and this order I included the  TurnTex dyes  

CJ is so easy to use just add activation shake are it’s ready to go. i have just finished 40 blocks for my knives and they all turned out beautiful 

The level of service provided is exceptional i order right before Xmas and I still received everything before new year and that’s international shipping as I live in Japan. On top of that I put in several orders as I kept adding items which were all shipped together and got a refund on the shipping as they combined orders which is tops.

Got to appreciate the effort put in to get me the goods in shortest time possible too

I am definitely a CJ fan now and will not be persuaded to use anything else. 
Thank you all at Turntex 

 

So I've tried a few of the TURNTEX products, to include the vacuum chamber, some stabilizer, dyes and such. All of them work 100% as instructed. I've made some blanks, about to try my hand with some wood shavings , metallic and dyed resin, I've come to trust their products and wouldn't look any further for others. Thanks for the tips, and products that work every time.

These folks have a great product and they do a fantastic job in timely communication and shipping service.   I’ve used them for a number of years and they never disappoint!  Keep it up!

Have replenished my Cactus Juice and stabilized 12 pieces of spalted Tamarind for pool cues. I'm very happy with  the product and as supply demands I will be buying more...soon.

I have been trusting and using Cactus Juice and Cactus Juice chambers for years and won't use anything else.  Those who have problems, their issues can be traced back to not following directions as prescribed on the site.  I have never had an issue but then again I follow instructions - go figure.

Totally good!!

I’ve used Alumilite Clear and Clear Slow as well as the Cactus Juice stabilizer and dyes all from TurnTex. 
and I can say without a doubt the products are all top notch and the service from TurnTex is above OUTSTANDING. Quick shipments are fantastic but the the ability to get quick responses to user questions is over the top in this day and age. I will definitely be ordering from TurnTex for my casting projects. 

Excellent products.  Excellent knowledge.  Excellent customer service!  Just excellent!

I have ordered from this company for many years.  I used to live in Ft. Worth, and started buying stabilizing resin from Douglas crafts in the beginning.  Was not happy.  Did my research on the international pen turners forum, and found out about CJ, and Alumilite. Have not turned back since then.  

I have been turning pens for about 20 yrs.  Making my own acrylic blanks for ten.  They new dyes, and they mika powders are great.

Cannot say enough about the service, and the help this company does.  

Happy New Year, and make some shavings.

Of all the different vendors I have ordered from I can always count on Turntex to have my order in the mail the same day or the next. Great Company

I do a small amount of casting and wish to explore different color combinations. Best pigment selection that I have found.

I use wood stabilization only occasionally but when I need it Turn Tex is where I go for the Cactus Juice. I am a hobbyist and don't really sell much that I make, but it is great to have an American company that provides such a useful, dependable product that works! Thanks Turn Tex for your product and great service!

Turn Tex has it down..I know of no other business with totally perfect customer service,

and a really great series of products.!!

Quality product that makes wood even stronger. Makes punky wood useable. 

Love these guys! Great products, great service, great prices. Ill be ordering a chamber from them soon!

I always stabilize with cactus juice on my hybrid woodturnings before I add alumilite to my pieces. Turntex always ships my order quickly and Curtis always replies to any questions that i have had.

Great product. Quick shipping. Only place I buy Aluminite 

For a number of years now I have operated a small craft show business.  It's not really a money maker.  Just something to stay busy with in retirement and get out of the house with.

From time to time I purchase Cactus juice as needed to do some of the crafts I sell.  It's never more than once a year or maybe a bit longer.  I keep returning to this company because the turn around time from placing the order to receiving is really quick.  Also, the product is always good with never having had problems with shelf life.

If you find yourself in need of stabilizing liquid, you won't do better going anyplace else

Service quality is second to none. For me to order product on a Thursday have it shipped from Texas to Canada and arrive on Monday exactly as ordered, and properly packaged it just can't get any better than this. It means I can order what I need and not have to worry about storing a bunch of product or worry about expiry dates etc. knowing if I need more it is a short window to receive it is great. Fred

I’ve ordered from TurnTex several years now..

never a issue with there products or services 

shipping is fast and accurate. 

 I bought some Cactus Juice a couple of years ago and somehow misplaced the activator. Also in talking to Curtis I mentioned that I had a pint of Cactus Juice that I thought would be too old to use. He told me how to test it. I did so, and it was perfect. Received my activator two days later and was able to get started on my projects. What great customer service.

I recently purchased JB Royal resin from TurnTex. I found that they had inadvertently shipped the Thin Resin Hardener with the Original Resin. Upon contacting Curtis, he and Gaige moved at incredible speed to correct the issue. I was contacted directly by both of them with profuse apologies. They offered to send the correct hardener. I ordered extra resin and had them just switch the hardeners. The package arrived promptly. Gaige also offered a bonus to make up for the error (which happens, but only rarely with this team!)

I love the products and the service. These folks know how to run a small business and to support other makers and creators. 

I recently purchased the new and improved Cactus Juice. It is improved and seems to bleed out a lot less than the previous version. I also had no issues mixing with the older cactus juice I had. This is one terrific product for stabilizing and coloring soft woods.

Great products and always fast shipping

Been ordering from Curtis and TurnTex for a couple of years. I have never had a problem with an order and due to my proximity to TurnTex, I can typically get my orders the next day, but that only happens because of the quick processing by the TurnTex team! While I have not had a serious issue I have seen many post on various Social Media post where peple have had issues with their Cactus Juice and Curtis has always made it right...99.99% of these situations, the problem was due to no fault of him or his product but simply user error... but he still made it right! can't find customer service like that anywhere!

Every order from turn Tex has been on time and complete. Thank you for your good service 

I recently purchased a 6" diameter vacuum chamber and some Cactus Juice to go along with it.  I have purchased multiple gallons of Cactus Juice over the years, and once again, I am very pleased with the product, shipping, service, instructions...  I have nothing but good things to say about Curtis and his company.  I will be back.  Thank you!

Asked for feedback to my recent small order:

I've ALWAYS BEEN SATISFIED with the service provided by TurnTex.  Their support is top notch and the products have always been exactly as advertised.  And, to go the second mile, the personalized customer support Curtis (et al) provide should be a model for other small companies. I highly recommend these folks.

TurnTex always has my order sent within a day. Have never had an issue that they did not let me know about

I have been purchasing Stabilizer and Alumilite Casting Resin from Curtis for about 7 yrs now.....always great product and the best customer service you will find anywhere. Fast, fast shipping too. 

Fast shipping - each time I order I receive an "order shipped" notice within an hour and often even quicker.

Exceptional customer service - The TurnTex owner's (Curtis Seebeck) business hours accommodates  phone calls during the evenings when most of us are not working at our daytime jobs. A great convenience for most customers.

Great products and ancillary services to support TurnTex products.

 

Great products and always fast shipping.

I’ve been using Cactus Juice for several years now.  There’s a reason I keep coming back for more, it’s an outstanding product and the customer service is second to none.  I can promise you that I’ll be back.

Turntex has never failed to promptly deliver the products I have ordered. I enjoy doing business with these folks!

I've been using TurnTex chambers and Cactus Juice for several years, love the products and the compaany. The customer service is beyond comparison. TurnTex customer service is a throwback to the old days when there really was customer service.

Tried new formula, did not run as bad and left clean up easier.

I appreciate the service that you give and how you stand behind your products. I wish you were in Oregon because I would be there weekly shopping.

I have been ordering products from Turntex for years. I recently made my largest purchase with an 8x18 Stabilizing Vacuum Chamber. I was very impressed with the quality and durability of the vacuum chamber. I am sure it will work very well for many years to come. 

Again, superior service 

I always buy from TurnTex, they have never let me down. The products are top quality and reasonably priced. 

Very pleased with the custom chamber that I purchased through turntex.  This is going to save me quite a bit of time and is worth paying the extra money.  The new formula is much easier to work with and is a noticeable difference in less bubbling and bleed out.  One of the great aspects about this company is the customer service.  You literally can talk to the owner of the company and he will take the time to answer your questions and address your concerns.

Im a big user of cactus juice. The last 4 gallon order was the new improved less foaming juice. Curtis you the man. 

Super-happy with the "new" Cactus Juice formula. No foaming at all, just a rolling boil, and it's nearly clear as water! If you haven't tried it yet, then why are you waiting?!?

The cactus Curtis has works perfect every time . I a little over a year I've gone through 12-16 gallons and never an issue . I did buy a breville toaster oven which gives the exact temp for curing every time . And I'm on my second order of casting resin now with great results . My only problem I have is I hate to sell a lot of the burls and high figured woods I've stabilized and the hybrids with the casting resins . Curtis will always take the time to answer any questions and you always feel welcome . Thanks Alan
