      I have some old unused Museum Putty stored in a ziploc bag that has gotten very stiff and thus unusable. How can I soften it to make it usable again?

      Answer This Question

      You can try setting it in the sun for a few hours to soften it up. If that doesn't work we recommend replacing your old putty

        Will it hold a 24inch tall lamp to concrete side table. Don’t want the cat to kill the lamp!

        Answer This Question

        Depends on how top heavy the lamp is. Not sure I would count on the putty to do this job.

          Hi Barbara, Quakehold Putty works great for this application. Museums use our Museum Wax to anchor statues and heavier items. I would suggest Museum Wax if you want superior hold on heavy items.

            Yes but could ascetically mark the brick surface. It is not recommended on porous surfaces due to staining but will absolutely hold!

                No, do not try to hang things with this stuff. That is not its purpose.

                  Thank you for your question. Ready America Museum Putty is not intended to hang anything. Its purpose is to prevent items sitting on a level surface from tipping over when shaken or bumped. Secondarily, it has been found to help prevent pictures from swinging side to side when it's placed behind the lower corners of the frame and pressed against the wall. However, it should never bear weight of any vertically hanging item. We recommend using the A-Maze-Ing Picture Hook for secure picture hanging to prevent pictures from jumping off the hooks when bumped or shaken during an earthquake. https://www.homedepot.com/p/QuakeHOLD-A-Maze-ing-Picture-Hooks-4-Pack-4338/100137543

                    What is the difference between Museum Putty, Museum Wax, and Museum Gel? How do they compare?
                    ByOct 15, 2019

                    Answer This Question

                    Our Museum Wax and Gel are idea for translucent or glass objects where you do not one the wax or gel to show through the product. The gel is slightly clearer than the wax. Our Museum Putty is a idea for objects that are not translucent and might need a little bit of extra hold (usually for heavier objects). The putty is also a bit more pliable, so you're able to shape it to your needs and also can withstand a little bit more heat, although we suggest room temperatures for all these products.

                      No it will not. This stuff is great and it will not Harden to the point that you cannot take it off

                        As long as the material used for the dolls are non-porous, our Collector's Hold Museum Putty won't damage the dolls. We suggest testing it on an conspicuousness part of the doll first to make sure the material is non-porous.

                          I have used this product before in our church and this time I used it to attach our Church Chalice light to the stand in our sanctuary and it works so well that the stand was knocked over and the lamp went over with the stand but did not break. It stayed with stand and did not fall off!

                          Does the job! Putty was fresh and malleable and allowed me to use as much or as little as I needed. One package will secure a lot of breakables.

                          You Probably Already Know How Good Museum Putty Is
                          If you don't already know, Museum Putty is a product that will firmly adhere small objects into position while on display, but will allow them to be removed when the display period is over without leaving residue on the object. Not readily found even in a good art supply store, having it available from HD simply makes finding and buying it easier.

                          Works exactly as advertised
                          Museum Putty has the texture of Silly Putty but is a bit stickier. I tested the putty on both the wooden surface of the display case in which I was placing bone china thimbles and on the thimbles themselves. The putty came off cleanly, without damaging the surfaces. For my project, I was able to use a piece of putty smaller than a pea. Following the instructions, I rolled the tiny bit of putty on my palm until it became pliable. I formed a small coil, which I pushed down onto the wooden surface. Once the putty was in place, I gently pushed the thimble into the putty. The thimble did not move, until I intentionally remove it, as a test. The thimbles are now firmly in place. I'm very pleased with the results.

                          Been earthquake proofing my house and needed something for my vases around the house. This has such a strong hold I feel that it can withstand an earthquake. One thing I do suggest it only using this on non-clear items. Because the putty is a grey color. Rather than that I love this product. It is reusable! Easy to clean.

                          It really was not sufficient to hold down tabletop items in our RV. Don't try to hang things on a wall with it. It could be used at the bottom corners of wall hangings to keep them straight.

                            This is the stuff you want. The blue stuff is really only poster putty. It won't how things on a shelf. Muesum Putty is olding a security camera on an RV wall shelf even during the drive from park to park. It works.
