A: No, the Museum Gel is a clear, non-messy gel that’s similar to bubble gum and can be easily pulled loose by small children. It holds well but isn’t a good option for toddler-proofing.

Used in museum display cases for fragile works of art, is non-toxic, removable and reusable. Perfect for underneath clarity of glass and clear crystal objects on glass shelves.

Q: Is it safe to use this product to secure wood picture frames on a shelf without damaging the wood shelf? Besides that, this putty has been holding my antique vases securely on a shelf for eight years now. I occasionally remove the vases and wash the shelf, then replace them with new putty, and I have had no problems. One of the things I noticed about this product is that it takes a significant amount of putty to keep an object in place. The instructions make it look like a thumbnail-sized pinch will do the job, but in reality, you have to use enough to flatten out to the size of a 50-cent piece before you feel any significant grip.This museum gel is also great for crystal vases on side tables or even holding down trinkets in a travel trailer. It’s self-leveling and glass-clear, and so far, so good! I even used it on a fossil, and when it fell from standing upright, it didn’t break. It is easy to clean up and doesn’t stain. At least on nothing yet. A: The instructions on the label only mention that the product can hold items on a table, and do not mention anything about vertical applications. The label mentions that museum conservators use it to secure priceless art, historical artifacts, and antiques from breakage due to accidents and earthquakes. To test whether the wax can hold an item vertically, it is suggested to nudge at the base of the item to see if it is gripping and not slipping. The effectiveness of the wax in vertical applications would depend on the weight of the item and the surface it is being secured to. A: Museum Gel is not recommended for use on absorbent surfaces, such as light wood canvas art, as it can stain and is designed for use on horizontal surfaces with glass only. 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.
