Questions & Answers

How much QuakeHOLD does the package contain? Is one package really adequate for 40 items as the package states in the photo?
BySep 18, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Each package contains 75 g of QuakeHOLD! Museum Putty. The package's estimate of securing up to 40 items is based on typical use with small household objects. As noted in the instructions, the amount of putty needed will vary depending on the item's size, weight, shape, and base. For larger or heavier items, more putty may be required, so the actual number of items secured may vary.

    Will this leave a stain on flat interior paint?
    ByJul 23, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    The QuakeHOLD! Museum Putty is designed for use on dry, non-porous surfaces including wood, glass, metal, ceramic, laminate, and sealed surfaces. Because flat paint can absorb oils and residues more readily than sealed or glossy surfaces, we cannot guarantee that Museum Putty will not leave marks, discoloration, or changes to the finish.

      Could this product be used to help a tension shower curtain rod stay in place?
      ByJul 6, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      The QuakeHOLD! Museum Putty is not designed to keep a tension shower curtain rod stay in place. It is designed to keep objects from sliding, tipping, or falling off tables, countertops, cabinets, and storage shelves by creating a removable, reusable grip between surfaces. It helps keep items upright and stable on many waterproof surfaces and is commonly used to secure collectibles, antiques, decorations, and other household items.

        My floor lamps are only 5 lbs and I want them to be more stable. I have 3 kittens. I have a wood floor and don’t want putty to stain floor.
        ByOct 30, 2025
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Further, a 5 foot tall floor lamp will have a lot of leverage if force is applied at the top of the lamp.  Applying putty will help to stabilize the lamp, but not fully protect against tip over if force is applied toward the top of the lamp.

          Would museum putty or the wax be better to secure tall wood and tall brass candle holders on to painted wood mantle?
          ByJul 1, 2024
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          It depends on how often the objects would be moved. The putty is meant to be reapplied every 3-6 months where the wax can be left for long periods of time. The putty might be a better bet if the mantle gets hot since the wax can loosen up due to heat (it is a type of wax so heat does affect it). They both hold the same amount of weight, about 40 pounds. Please test it out before using, as there is a possibility it will leave a stain on a porous surface.

            Can you use quakehold museum putty on the stem of a gazing ball to secure to inside of a clay stand? (Wind keeps blowing the ball off of the stand)
            ByJun 21, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            If the clay is unsealed, it may stain. You can test it and see if it works for your application.

              Yes it will stick to hard, dried resin. It will not stick to liquid resin.

                I have some very small led Christmas light strands I would like to attach to a stucco house outdoors. They have very little in the weight department current temperatures are between 75 and 30 degrees F. If I closely space the product do I stand a chance?
                ByNov 28, 2023
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                No the putty is not designed for hanging lights and does not bond well with stucco. It is only recommended for flat surfaces.

                  have not looked for this since we redid a couple of rooms in our first Florida home. Was pleased to see when we removed things to bring to our new Florida home that museum putty had left no trace on those walls. We are now using it in our new apartment for the same purpose. We have multiple pictures in unusual frames. A dab of the museum potty in the corners of those that tend to go offkilter stabilize them so they don't have to continually be re-straightened. I very much think the individual who first told me that this product exists because it is super!

                  This product does the work as it is supposed to do. I am using this product to keep an over-the-door mirror in place when opening and closing the door. Before using this museum putty, the mirror kept clapping against the door due to the motion and vibrations whenever the door was used. Now, with the putty securely holding the mirror, there is no more rattling or risk of the mirror sliding off. It gives me peace of mind and works perfectly for its purpose. Highly recommended for stabilizing lightweight items on doors or shelves.

                  Used this to stick notecards on the wall. After 2 days there are oil marks on the wall from the putty… now I have to hire a painter.

                    It did exactly what we wanted it to do. It held a picture bottom to the wall so it didn’t move as people walk by and sometimes brushed up against the pictures. Great choice for doing that.
