I've had my Turntex tank for a while (previous posts) but UPS dropped off my juice today. I'll have a few ??'s for Curtis in the morning, but I did the grip it and rip it thing. 30 minutes and bubbles were gone. The fridge compressor took 3 minutes to get to -28mmhg so the bubbling over the top wasn't an issue...although the bubbles were every where!! They stayed in the tank for an hour total, first time jitters!! Wrapped everything up in foil and hit the oven. I hear bubbling in the toaster oven so I guess thats good. So far it's all buck-eye burl and a stopper size blank of spalted hackberry. Pic's when they pop out! Juice recycling is not an issue but I'd like to see a temp range...106 in Fresno today and everything degrades at that temp!! Again...pic's tomorrow!
First run with Cactus stuff

Hey Jim, sounds like you are getting into it. You will like the results. As I have mentioned before the only downside I can find to using the juice is that the blanks create a little more dust when turned then regular wood or acrylic. Looking for the pics.
