Take the guesswork out of wood stabilizing with this starter kit. It has everything you need to get started wood stabilizing minus a vacuum pump and toaster ...

Big changes have been made to the TurnTex website, specifically for Cactus Juice Vacuum Chambers! In the past, all vacuum chambers were made to order with a 7-10 day lead time. I have changed all of that up. Here are the changes:

-I now offer stabilizing packages in 4 different most popular size vacuum chambers that come with everything you need except a vacuum pump and oven. The package represents an average of 18% saving over buying the different items by themselves!

- I have added a section for standard size, ready to ship chambers. These are my most popular size chambers and we will be keeping them in stock, ready for immediate shipment.

-The remainder of the 39 different size chambers I offer are now in a section of custom made chambers. These will allow you to purchase a chamber that fits your special needs. These chambers are now subject to a 3-4 business day lead time instead of 7-10 days. I have also added a Priority Rush option where you can choose to pay rush fee of $25 and your custom chamber will be built and shipped the same day subject to the stated cutoff times. I guarantee shipment for Priority Rush and if we fail to deliver, we will immediately refund the $25 rush fee plus an additional $10 for the inconvenience and will call you to let you know.

One other small change is I now offer a complete set of 2 oz Cactus Juice Dyes at a discounted price that reflects a 15% discount.

The most recent batch of Alumilite Clear Slow 16 # kits we received from Alumilite were more yellowed than normal. As a result, Alumilite has agreed to discount them 25% for those than can use the yellowed material. If you cast with dyes and micas, this yellowing will have no effect. Take advantage of a great deal to boost your profits while you can! Limited to the 18 kits we have on hand. Once we receive the new batch of clear, this deal will end.
Regular Price is $193.54. Sale price is $145.15, saving $48.39!

Another new/revised product...

You may have seen that my manifolds have been out of stock for a good while. This was because I was exploring better options for a superior product that was less labor intensive to make. My previous manifolds were made in two parts on CNC equipment, then had to be glued together and tapped. This was time consuming and was a bottle neck in availability.
This new style is a high quality solid billet of aluminum that is drilled and tapped for use. Being able to source these in bulk, having the logo printed on them, and then assembled and tested will allow us to always have stock. In my opinion, as much as it hurts me to say, these are better quality with no chance for leaks at the seams. Granted, I still think my manufactured manifolds looked nicer but heh, less labor is always good!
We currently have 1 available and in stock while we wait for more fittings to come in. They are expected in the next day or two. If you go to order and find it is out of stock, please enter your email and the moment we put them back in stock, you will get an email notification.

New product for your convenience at TurnTex!

Use these 50 ml beakers to test Cactus Juice that you suspect is past its shelf life. Fill with 30ml of suspect Cactus Juice and place in the oven at 200F for one hour. If it turns to a solid of some kind, it is still good. If it stays liquid, it is bad and may be a candidate for re-activation. Contact me for directions if it fails the test.

I have added a number of new casting related products to my website for you guys! I have added the full line of Alumilite Amazing Epoxy Casting Resins including Amazing Clear Cast, Amazing Clear Cast+, and Amazing Deep Pour. I have also added Alumilite Amazing Mold Maker silicone for making molds as well as Alumilite Alumi-UV UV cure resin.

The different epoxy resins can be used without a pressure pot if you don't have one and are less sensitive to moisture. If you are already comfortable casting with Alumilite Clear or Clear Slow, by all means, do not switch but if you have not gotten into casting or prefer epoxies, I now have more options for you. The UV cure resin works well as a finish on some items and the Amazing Mold Maker is a great silicone for making your own molds.

I have also rearranged things a little by making new categories for urethane resins (Alumilite Clear, Clear Slow, and White) and a different category for Epoxy resins including the above as well as JB Royal. Lastly, I have made it now so that on most products that have different size options, you now just have to click on the one product, then choose the size you want on that page rather than having to w**d through a bunch of different products to find the specific one and specific size you are interested in.

Lastly, I updated most all the pictures on my website. I know, some of the new pictures are not great so I will be working to take even more pictures and do a little better job editing them. I also revamped the Products tab on the top main menu to provide more options for direct access to different products you are interested in to reduce the amount of clicks you have to make. Simply hoover over Products and the menu will fly down. From there, choose what interests you.

Hope you like the changes! If you see anything wrong including spelling or grammar, please let me know. Also, if there are things I could improve, feedback would be appreciated. Lastly, please help me get the word out that I am now carrying these new products!
Thanks everyone!

I have to brag on my guys, Gaige Musick and Christian Ray for their dedication to getting your orders out without delay. Last week, both were sick from what we assume was either Covid or the Flu. That did not stop these superstars! They both came in every morning to ship your orders so they were not delayed, even though they felt terrible. They would work until lunch or so, then go home and rest. They did this every day without fail and without me even asking. I would have been more than accommodating to allow them to just stay home. It was not about the money either. They both get paid salary instead of hourly so staying home would not have affected their paycheck in any way. It was pure dedication to the job and to you, our treasured customer!

I could not ask for a better, more dedicated team. Because of them and their dedication, no orders were delayed and you got your stuff TurnTex Fast like always!
