Quakehold! 66111 Museum Wax, Clear 2 Ounce

The Quakehold! 66112 Museum Wax has been surprisingly useful for a lot of small, everyday problems. I originally bought it to keep my headphone amp from sliding around on my desk, and it worked perfectly. It holds the amp securely in place but is still easy to remove when needed. I’ve also used it to keep drawer organizers that are slightly undersized from shifting around, which cleaned up a constant annoyance. What I like most is that it doesn’t leave residue or damage finishes. It holds firmly enough to be effective, but it’s not permanent, and it peels off cleanly without marks. That makes it easy to reposition or reuse. Beyond what I bought it for, it’s been handy for other obvious uses like securing small decor items, picture frames, speakers, desk accessories, and lightweight electronics that tend to move or vibrate. It’s also useful for keeping fragile items stable on shelves. Overall, this is a simple, practical product that just works. If you need a clean, removable way to keep items from sliding or tipping, this works well and is easy to live with. A very handy product for around the house.

Holds my decor very well! I haven't noticed a lasting residue because a quick wipe always does the job. I love the wooden tool they give to help you scoop the product out. Its important to note that the product is definitely more WAXY... not gel like. I know thats obvious because the product is literally called Museum WAX, but I was expected more of a putty texture. Regardless, this isn't a big deal unless it doesn't keep the decor stable (which is does). Overall great product!

Love this stuff. It works well on glass to finished wood. I used to stick glass Christmas trees to a mantelpiece. They held all season. I have also used it to stick crystals to brass candlesticks. This is NOT poster tack. It is not meant for walls; the instructions actually specify this so for all the people who gave it a 1 star because it messed up their walls - should have read the instructions. I have cats and they have not knocked over anything I have use it on.

I have found the Quakehold! 66111 Museum Wax to be a versatile and effective solution for securing small items around my home. I primarily used it to stick small mini clocks above my light switches in the main rooms, providing a convenient alternative to hanging a clock on the wall. The wax allows me to easily remove and reposition the clocks without damaging the walls whenever I need to change the time. In addition to holding clocks in place, I also used this wax to secure hanging photo frames. It effectively prevents them from shifting out of position and helps keep them level, ensuring a neat and visually pleasing display. The wax provides a strong hold, giving me peace of mind that my delicate frames will remain in place. Overall, the Quakehold! 66111 Museum Wax is a practical and reliable solution for securing small items. It offers the flexibility to reposition items without causing any damage to the walls. Whether you need to stick clocks, photo frames, or other lightweight objects, this wax provides an efficient and non-permanent solution.

I had never heard of this before my friend recommended it. My cats like to rub themselves on my things and this stuff works so well and sticks to most surfaces like glass, wood, and ceramic. It also comes right off, it doesn’t come off like a dough all together but it wipes right off and doesn’t leave a residue

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!

This wax holds well, but is VERY difficult to remove from even perfectly smooth surfaces. It leaves a very sticky and highly visible residue. I'm hoping warming the surface with a hair dryer will do the trick. Also, it's not clear, which was the reason I chose it over the putty - it's translucent, like petroleum jelly. Going back to the putty, which works great.

I ordered this museum wax because I got so tired of resetting my decorations on my front porch. The wind blows my decore over so much, I often bring items in if the weather forecast includes wind. Time saver for sure, not to mention damage prevention. It cleans up nicely too. Just scrape excess wax off and use hot water and soap wipes or Clorox wipes to remove residue. Great price, delivered on time and quality product. I definitely recommend this product.
