Product Information

Q: Can Museum Wax be used to hold frosted glass slip shades in a brass light fixture where heat from the lights is a factor? Sometimes it just takes a little dab of something to keep things organized and in place. One of my favorite products for this is Museum Gel. Have you heard of it? Museum gel was originally used by major museums in the earthquake region of California, hence, it is also known as quake gel. It is now used in museum display cases for fragile works of art. It is non-toxic, removable and reusable. Jeff Stephens is an inventory specialist at iFixit, and he worked for six years as a supervisor of installations at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He has installed art everywhere from college art galleries to commercial galleries—even his own installations.

Q: Is it safe to use this product to secure wood picture frames on a shelf without damaging the wood shelf? I keep my jar of it out in the garage. Here in Austin TX, summer temperatures climb over 100 degrees sometimes. You would think it might melt or turn into liquid. But it doesn’t. It’s one of those mysterious substances that doesn’t seem to be affected by heat at all. I have a category in my head for Things I Don’t Need To Understand, and this one of those things. p.s. you can also use it with heavy objects, by applying more. No weight restrictions, unlike Mueseum wax..

A: Based on my personal experience, I have not encountered any issues with using the museum putty on wood surfaces. Therefore, I do not think it would harm your wood veneer-finished particleboard shelves. The law of gravity still applies, and I have never tried to use this with something heavy mounted fully upright. I have, however, used this to hold a plate to a tripod easel that is mounted on the wall. If someone were to accidentally bump the easel frame, then the plate could fall. So I adhered the plate to the easel, and I no longer have to worry about it. When discussing museum putty vs. museum wax, you must remember that both these adhesives are excellent options to secure your valuables in place. Is product photography your bread and butter? Museum Wax will keep that squirrelly mascara applicator standing on end ready for its close-up, and just think of the stop motion animation potential. If you want to secure smaller and lightweight items like figurines, antiques, collectibles, and smaller frames on the surface, this adhesive acts perfectly well.

But then again, to help you find the best adhesive, I have discussed museum putty vs. museum wax in detail so that you can buy the one you need easily. And Museum Wax isn’t just for ceramics. It’s good for glass, plastic, wood, bone, stone, papier-mâché, and metal… with a caveator three: A: Museum Wax is a wax-like substance that can hold items in place. It is likely that it would work to keep a wine bottle from rolling off a shelf. However, it is important to note that depending on the surface the wax is applied to, such as finished wood, it can cause damage. The clear Museum Gel is a better option as it has been found to not damage any surface. The wax is reusable and can hold the bottle securely, but can be easily adjusted without leaving any residue behind. Primarily used in museums, the main purpose of this glue is to keep your valuables safe from any sudden movements and accidents.Museum Putty is the most universal and widest range of applications. It is recommended for frequently removed and reused objects. Clear Museum gel will stay soft and flexible and is barely noticeable when securing glass and crystal, we recommend testing the product adhesion periodically and cleaning the area to ensure proper adhesion.

wouldn’t it be easier and cleaner to just use silicone sealant? It acts like a glue and holds things in place, but can easily be cleaned off without leaving residue on a surface AND it doesn’t matter if it gets warm, unlike museum wax. On the Other hand, museum wax is better for larger objects, as well as smaller ones, too. Used on surfaces like crystal, porcelain, marble, glass, ceramic, and wood, this adhesive can also secure your valuables for months to come. Consistency A: The effectiveness of the product varies by individual experience. While some have found it effective enough to reuse, others have not. However, the same isn’t true for museum wax. As this adhesive is made from a composition of microcrystalline waxes, it is quite firm in consistency and isn’t as flexible as the museum putty. You have to cut it into smaller pieces before using it on your valuables. Curing TimeQuakehold museum gel was used over 10 years ago by major museums in the earthquake region of California to protect exhibits. Since then, the practice of securing works of art and collections has become popular among both professionals and private collectors. It is perfect for preventing accidental damage of valuable items prone to disturbance through vibration or in busy areas where they may be more vulnerable.
