Quakehold! 22111 Gel for Glass and Crystal, Clear, 4oz

I purchased QuakeHold Gel to secure my glass vases and collectibles, and I’m seriously impressed. It’s crystal clear, easy to use, and provides a strong hold without damaging surfaces. I love that it keeps my decor safe from accidental bumps and I feel way more secure knowing everything is protected.Just a small amount goes a long way, and it’s completely hidden once applied. If you have fragile items on shelves or mantels, this stuff is a game changer. I’ll definitely be keeping a jar on hand from now on!

I was nervous it wouldn't work well for what I was getting it for, but its actually pretty good! I used it to secure my monster high doll displays, it works great, it's a little finicky at first, and it takes a hour or so to properly "dry" or harden but even after that it's really easy to work with, although a little goes a long way since it kinda seeps out with tiny props

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 product is amazing and I highly recommend it if you need to keep items in place on a shelf/etc. It's almost like gluing the item in position without actually gluing it. The downside is it drips if it's on a vertical object or wall

I was surprisingly very dissappointed in this QUAKEHOLD Brand of Clear Gel. It did not stick at all. Not even slightly. Not to glass or crystal, which it stated it would do as a selling feature; and, was my main reason for buying it: to secure glass and crystal items to glass shelves. I returned it and used pre-cut clear pads instead, that worked perfectly. All odd, as I have used many packages of opaque QUAKEHOLD to secure items in the past and it worked great. Just the clear gel did not.

I don't want to give the impression that this product doesn't work as intended, but given the fact that it was recommended for an off-label use, I thought it would be helpful to others who might have been tempted to try it for that other purpose to know that it doesn't work. At least, this item doesn't, I don't know about other brands.I am a diamond painter and I generally single place all of my drills and am very partial to squares. I've managed to come into some round diamond paintings quite inexpensively and feel an obligation to actually do them. I don't usually diamond paint rounds and don't particularly enjoy the process in doing them, so I figured my best bet was to multi-place to expedite the process. I use glue dots in my single placers, but they don't work in multi-placers and I don't care for putties because they're messy and impossible to clean out of your tips. I also worry that wax will leave too much residue. I ran across the recommendation to use museum gel and this was the least expensive option I found. This stuff breaks apart the way Silly Putty does and doesn't have the gross texture of slime though looking like it could be a similar product. Unfortunately, it doesn't stay together well enough in small clumps to work in a multi-placer and it doesn't pick up drills very well. So, if you come across this review after looking at giving it a try for diamond painting because the wax fails too quickly or putties and waxes are too messy for you, I recommend avoiding this product. It doesn't work for diamond painting. Once I gave up on this product, I opted to use double sided tape. It isn't perfect, but it worked better than anything else I had tried before.

Love this stuff. Easy to use. Most importantly, it keeps my kitty from throwing stuff off my furniture.

I got these to secure delicate decor and it is so easy to use, easy to remove, completely clear and it does what it claims!
