Quakehold! 88111 Museum Putty Neutral 2.64 Oz.

Excellent product. Just 3 small balls placed on bottom of item and it stays put! So the amount given is a lot so I store the extra in a zip loc bag. I've used on glass and metal objects and they don't move until you want to move, clean, etc. They continue to work when moved and do not harm the surface of where you placed them. Highly recommend!

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 used this for so many purposes, and it works so well for the goal of horizontally holding objects in their place. Generally it takes very little product to do the job, meaning one package will likely last a long time.I have a very large, fragile, expensive glass table lamp that is not completely flat on the bottom. Nonetheless, it still adheres to the glass-top table it's on really well. I have three cats (including a clumsy Berman with giant paws and a wide back end...), and that lamp would be toast if it wasn't for this putty. Also, the lamp is on a table that's right inside my back door. We have a small home and the walkway is so tight it's almost nonexistent. My husband is constantly bumping this lamp as he grabs our outdoor garbage can for the weekly trash collection, hitting against it (accidentally) much harder than my cats ever could. I also don't have to baby it if the table the lamp is on needs to be moved.I've since used this producf with every piece of decor that I can, and it makes a world of difference. Whether it's a painted window sill, unfinished wood, laminate tabletop, a porcelain surface or plain old glass, items adhere equally well to whatever they are placed on. It's also absolutely essential if you have older lamps with those separate glass globes from the base, the kind that shatter into a million pieces if knocked over.Using a tiny bit of this can stop that annoying clanging or shaking which rickety parts of older objects or overhead lights can make with any form of vibration nearby, too.I use this to keep figurines accident- and cat-proof. I find I'm able to place things in areas I'd be afraid to without this product, a really essential function in a smaller home. It also makes dusting less dicey, because the objects are stationary when being cleaned. Yet if I want to move anything, the putty is easily pulled up and removed with no residue, regardless of the surface applied to or item used on. Best of all, it's reusable! Simply keep the original packaging the putty came in, and tightly seal it so it stays pliable.Note: When they say this isn't for vertical usage, they mean it. I explained this to my significant other but he decided to hang up a cheap, lightweight mirror with the putty, anyway. Within a half hour he was sweeping up the broken mirror. No matter how lightweight the item, vertical use is just NOT what this works for. I prefer those 3M strips, the kind that come with their hooks, for times when I need to hang something fairly lightweight or merely steady an object that shifts too much (like over-the-door storage caddys tend to do). Those strips are invaluable in times when a nail won't do or a drill can't be used to screw an item into a vertical surface. Like museum putty, that 3M product is removable.

First of all, I would like to begin my review by reminding discouraged buyers that this is not designed for walls; it is specifically made to secure your valuable items to a shelf or table.I have cats. My cats are very curious and love to explore. I did some research on products that could help me keep my antiques and seasonal decorations in place despite the cats, and this has been the best product I’ve found. Quake Hold secures both heavy and lightweight objects without damaging my shelves.With just a small amount, it keeps items firmly in place, even when the cats jump onto the shelves. I gave it four stars because, despite its great qualities, it doesn’t quite deserve five stars, as it can be a bit difficult to remove from certain surfaces (even if it does not cause any damage).That said, it’s a product I will continue to use because it serves its purpose perfectly: keeping my antiques, decorative mugs, and seasonal decorations in place.

Works so well. Easy to apply. Leaves no marks when removed. Protects fragile items from earthquake trembles.

This putty holds my artifacts, porcelain bowls and statues, tall candle holders etc.. I can enjoy my guests, knowing nothing will be accidentally knocked over by adults and children.

It holds okay but it is not as good as other products I've tried. It is significantly less expensive though.
