QuakeHold! 66111 Museum Wax, Clear Adhesive 2 oz

I love the idea and the concepts of this product. It works great and has great grip on small items like picture frames, vases and different pieces. I was hoping it would work on my couch but it would not hold such large heavy items. I love how it has a small wooden stick for easy removal. No mess what so ever and it hardy leaves any residue. It may be a small container but a little does a long way!

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!

I have a display of Funko pops on a small ledge in my bathroom that my cats love to destroy. I bought this on the small hope that it would help somehow and so far it’s done wonders and the stability of the figures has made my cats disinterested in knocking them down. (Cat results may vary of course) It’s fairly easy to use. You just scoop out a little bit of the wax with the provided scoop and warm it up in your hands a little bit before placing onto the bottom of your sculpture and then pressing down where you want to sit. Figures can still be picked back up again and moved into different position positions. If you need they are just a lot more stable when using the wax and less likely to tip over or be knocked over. A little goes a long way truly so I feel like this Two pack will probably last me a long time so it’s a great value for the price. Works great with a variety of different types of figurines without leaving much residue and is very easy to clean up. Highly recommend if you have a lot of top-heavy figures you like to display or if you just want to display your figurines, a little bit more securely.

Love this stuff! It really does hold and make stuff immovable. Great for nicknacks you want to keep in the same place.

Outstanding! I used this to mount some 3-400 year old delft tiles I bought in the Netherlands a decade ago. I wanted to display them but could not imagine damaging them. Then I heard about museum wax. The instructions were easy and the product holds up! I love how you cannot see the wax and it allows you to see the edges of the tiles and adds just enough elevation to make them pop. I’m very happy.

This stuff is so neat and not widely known — definitely underrated. I used this to help me make memory game boxes for a party game. They held each object (no matter their material) VERY well; with enough wax in place, each object was so well-stuck I could shake the box or even hold it upside down and it stayed out. Use a hair dryer on a low setting and an old cloth to remove the wax afterwards for best results.

Somewhat effective, will hold a lightweight object in place. Easy to mold and wipe off surface. Doesn't really "dry" stays soft and pliable

Works as described. Not messy, easy to use, easy to remove. Clay like with just enough stick to get the job done. Comes with more than most people would need. Safe.

material was good, packaging was bad, lid came broken

Great product for securing small display items. Performed as described. Took some experimenting to determine the right amount use. Which is highly dependent on the size, shape, and weight of the item being secured.

Great stuff to help hold decor items in place to protect against light brushes from passing pets or children - it doesn’t glue things down, but it gives a great helping hand! I’ve used in on quite a few surfaces but just be aware if it’s at all a delicate or absorbent material such as some marbles/stone as it might leave a mark. Perfect on painted surfaces like windowsills, side tables etc - recommend it! :)

🛍️ Why Did I Buy This? Between curious kids, overexcited pets, and my own occasional clumsy moments, I needed something to stop my ornaments from playing daily rounds of gravity roulette. ⭐ The Good This stuff is an absolute lifesaver. It’s easy to apply, holds firmly, and yet somehow still lets you reposition items if needed. Once it’s on, things stay put no more sliding off shelves or delicate decorations toppling during a dramatic door slam. It’s practically invisible, leaves no residue, and a tiny bit goes a long way, making it amazing value for money. 👎 The Bad Honestly… nothing. Unless you count the mild regret of not discovering it sooner. ⚖️ The Grey Area None to speak of . It does exactly what it promises and then some. 💭 The Verdict Would I buy again? Without hesitation. Would I recommend to a friend? Absolutely! Whether you’ve got kids, pets, or simply a talent for knocking things over, this is a must-have for keeping your treasures safe and steady.

Works well. Unnoticeable
