Quakehold! 66111 Museum Wax, Clear 2 Ounce

I'm combining reviews of the three related products from the same company, because being able to contrast the pro and cons (and intended use) of each, would have helped me when I bought them.First off, Museum Putty and Quakehold Putty are the same thing. It say so in the leaflet that come with it. They have two different names just to market to different users.They also make Quakehold Gel, and Museum Wax.Gel requires a sealed surface, and says not to use on wood. It is clear, and if you need to anchor a clear vase to a glass shelf, this is your product. I found it is also the most difficult to work with, so take that into account. It has a very slow motion ooze to it (like very, very thick honey), and I simply could not get it to stick to a crystal vase (to apply it directly to the vase) - I had to apply it to the shelf, and put the vase on it. Once I gave it time to "set" (and cleaned up the extra that oozed out), it did hold the vase well, and is virtually invisible.Wax is what you want for anchoring something to a wooden surface. It's a soft white color (translucent in a thin layer) that isn't obtrusive under most items. It's not hard like candle wax, it's soft, and feels like it's been liquified and whipped (incorporating air), then allowed to cool. I have no idea how they make it, I'm just talking about what it feels like. It's relatively easy to work with for the first few items, but if you are doing a lot, it gets somewhat annoying. Traces of wax stick to your fingers, and clings to the wax you are trying to attach to your item. Wipe(scrub) your fingers on paper towels in between, but eventually you'll need to wash your hands in water as hot as you can stand. It does come off.Putty is the easiest to work with. To me, it's something between cream and ivory colored, also unobtrusive under most items. Also needs a sealed surface. Though they say you can use it on finished wood, they also caution that it may lift the finish. Why risk it? Use the Museum Wax - people have been waxing wood for many centuries... I have used it on painted wood however, and it hasn't seemed to do any harm to that.I bought all of these about three months ago, and used them on the appropriate surfaces. I could live without the Gel (just don't need in in my circumstances) - I only found one place for it, but it's held well. On the other hand, the Wax and the Putty are two things I wish I'd found years ago!I have a litter of teenage cats that practically bounce off the walls when they are playing and chasing each other. Since I've used these stuff on nearly everything breakable within their reach, they have not managed to knock over a single thing! Vase/candleholder/picture frames/knicknacks/etc on tables, glass bottles on window sill, glass and ceramic food storage containers on the kitchen counters, the external hard drive on the desk, even the tippy charging stand for the headphones... (Once you start, you keep finding new uses.)One suggestion that is a bit different from the instructions, particularly with stuff that has a rimmed edge - rather than making small balls of the stuff, make small worms. You still space it out around the item (not the whole bottom nor whole perimeter), but it makes it easier to control, and less chance of some oozing out.Also, a little goes a long way. I've used perhaps a third of a jar of the Wax, and a bit more than three quarters of a packet of the Putty. I already have a spare packet of the putty though - I refuse to ever again be without a supply of both of these!Hope this helps!

Zero residue, zero damage. Whether on glossy wood, marble, or antique finishes, the wax lifts away cleanly, making it ideal for rentals, heirlooms, or rotating seasonal decor.

This stuff is awesome! If you have a rambunctious cat like I do, who loves to knock things over, this product keeps your items in place without being too visible. I have used this religiously and I still have an abundance of product left, as you only need the tiniest bit in order to secure your items. Great purchase and even better price.

I have trays above my monitors to hold various items including some knick knacks. Every time I bumped my desk, it was like a mini earthquake since it would then jiggle the monitor arms which then jiggled the trays and would sent the little knick knacks tumbling. I remembered my mom using something similar when I was a kid to keep items in place in a dollhouse but then she'd occasionally use it for items in the house. Not sure what brand she used, but this has the same texture and qualities that one did and a little bit of this has held my knick knacks in place for over a week now without issue.

I was expecting this stuff to stand the test of my two year old but I didn't even get that far because after using it on something out of reach of my toddler, I could Tell how non-sticky it actually was. Barely holds anything I don't understand the point of it. I imagined that blue sticky tack that teachers used to use in school but 1000x stronger. Boy, was I wrong. This is a very oily feeling wax that you scoop out with the “scoop” aka square of pressed wood that it comes with. I expected to at the very least feel even a little resistance when trying to pick up an item off the shelf that I used it on. But, no resistance at all. This stuff did nothing. Chewing gum would honestly work better.

Great product — heard about it on a TV show and it works great to keep fragile knick-knacks and pictures in place.

I learned about this product while watching a home decor show and knew I HAD to HAVE it! I have two 4 foot tall pedestal columns with hurricane globes on them. Now those globes are perfectly secure! And the great thing is that this product can be easily removed with dental floss and won't mark my furniture. So impressed!
