Museum wax is NOT designed to level objects but is instead meant to keep fragile objects, such as vases with small bases, from falling over. In earthquake prone areas, it helps keep small objects from breaking during a quake. In my Museum (I am the Exhibits Specialist in a art museum), we use it on objects that might fall over if someone bumps into the pedestal. We have used it on objects that have been in place for 10 years and the wax is still pliable and easily removed/applied. Read the directions before using.

Quick tip: Use dental floss to separate the object from the pedestal when it has to be removed before trying to pick up the object.

This stuff works great to anchor down breakables in a household of numerous cats. I highly recommend it.

We used Museum Wax to secure some mid-century ceramics to a marble credenza. It was easy to apply, holds firmly, releases when you want it to, and cleans up easily.

How does this product compare to Quakehold! 88111 Museum Putty Neutral? Hopefully you will find the attached video helpful in selecting the product that best meets your needs.

Pros - Very strong bond

Cons - Somewhat messy to work with, very messy to remove

Bottom Line: Museum Wax is great stuff when you want something that is nearly permanent and can still be removed, with a bit of work, on the right kind of surfaces. Otherwise, the additional holding power, over putty, was not worth the additional mess I prefer using the Museum Putty.

BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews, accompanied by detailed videos, can take the place of first-hand experiences that are often lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've gotten from other reviewers and try to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and the video at least entertaining. If there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I'll do what I can to fix it.

This stuff really works! It adheres your precious items securely to their base, making it nearly impossible to knock them over. I've used this with a couple of expensive vases and even when a child threw a big ball at one of them, it did not move. It is not hard to remove the wax to relocate your item when you're ready to do so, and any wax residue comes off easily without damaging the surface you had it on. I would highly recommend this product. In fact, I've bought three jars of it as gifts which were very much appreciated.

So, this product has worked really great. I have it holding various small items throughout my home that have not budged. I have cats who enjoy getting up on furniture and knocking things over and this little miracle wax prevents that. So, I'm really glad that I bought it.

For the people who couldn't get this stuff to work, either they were using too little or much, not correctly adhering it to the surfaces, or had unrealistic expectations for its hold ability. Everything I have used it on has held with no problems.

My sister suggested this product because I moved into an older house with uneven walls. I also had antiques that I wanted to protect. Well, this is certainly the answer. You take a small amount, roll it around in the palm of your hand to soften and then press it wherever it needs to go. Believe me, the object will stay put. I have used it on mirrors, paintings and small objects and am totally satisfied.

Definitely keeps things in their place. Smart buy!

In past, to secure precarious art, I've used mortician's wax but this is formulated for this function and actually works better.

I bought it to use to keep china in place on the shelves in my china cabinet, and that's what it does.

I use this to hold things in place while traveling in our RV. It works great and is easy to remove with no greasy spot left behind.
