Cactus Juice stabilizing resin – by TurnTex (3.79 L / 1 gallon)
Cactus Juice is a professional-grade, heat-cured resin for stabilizing and hardening wood and other porous materials. Made in the USA, this resin is especially effective on punky spalted woods that are otherwise too soft to work with.
Shipped unactivated with activator in a separate bottle
Easy to use, does not significantly change colour of most woods
Non-toxic, non-flammable, and solvent-free
Once activated, shelf life is 8–12 months
Not affected by cold temperatures – safe to ship year-round
Items needed for stabilizing (not included):
Cactus Juice resin
Stabilizing chamber and a vacuum pump (minimum 29” Hg; higher vacuum gives better results). An electric rotary vane vacuum pump is recommended, as full evacuation may take over an hour.
Small oven to cure blanks once resin is absorbed
Aluminum foil to wrap blanks before curing
Wood blanks at 10% moisture content or less (lower is better)
Personal protection equipment (latex or nitrile gloves, eye protection)
Price per gallon in Canadian dollars.
