I have used this product for years. It's great. Keep in mind it does melt if the room gets hot. I have found when I need to clean the shelves and the gel is removed, if it gets on the rug, which small particles have, it melts and you cannot remove it. I have tried to get it out of the rug o but to no avail, it is permanently there. So, put a drop cloth down so none of the gel gets on the carpet during the removal process.

Just a great product to secure items to shelves that could slip or be jolted out of place. Especially items up high that might be subject to house vibration and wiggle their way off of a shelf. I love this stuff. Protects valuables.

I was expecting this to be more solid, like putty. I think they make another product called museum putty which is probably what I should have gotten. This is a clear gel that is really a very slow moving liquid. You pinch out a little lump and put it on a surface, and over time it flattens itself out into a disc. It is good for sticking flat-bottomed items to completely horizontal surfaces, and it does seem to come off of surfaces cleanly. The product info does imply it might stain unfinished wood.

Museum Gel has kept my crystal figurines and other glass and non-glass objects in place on the glass shelves inside the cabinet of my grandfather clock. The gel is transparent so its hard to see you even used it, although it can puddle around the object if you use too much. Given the four times an hour chiming, and the massive vibrations from the chimes, the gel works well, with only a small amount of slippage. Removing objects only requires a light twist.

Love this stuff. Use it everytime I take out my motorhome keeps everything in place.

This stuff doesn't hold. Use museum wax instead. I tried this stuff to secure my antique crystal glass items onto the smooth glass shelves of display cases. It just oozes out from under the item and makes a mess all over the shelf. If the item is near the edge of the shelf, it oozes out and drips down the cabinet. If your cabinet gets bumped the likelihood of the display glass falling is almost as great as if there were nothing to secure the glass at all. Don't waste your money. For opaque items, use museum putty.

I haven't used this product yet. The seller shipped it quickly and it was as predicted. I bought it to hold Christmas decorations (such as ribbons, greenery, etc.) in place around serving platters.

Quakehold! 22111 Gel for Glass and Crystal, Clear Thanks for great service. This product has saved many valuables from crashing to the floor when the cats decide to play where they are not suppose to be playing.

I'd heard about Museam Putty, but had trouble finding it, and I wanted something I could use with my cut crystal and emerald glass collection. The gel is perfect! Very little holds the item tight to the shelf and makes dusting a far less difficult task! The gel is not designed for wood shelves, but I tested it and it left no mark at all. But Quakehold makes a product for any kind of situation, so if you collect, and what you collect is breakable, check out Quakehold! Great stuff!

I use this product for endless things. I bought it at first because little girls were walking out with my antique doll house furniture. I putty attractive items down. Then I discovered it is perfect for my tea cups and saucers. Some of my most expensive cups were broken when a friend was taking them out of the cabinet, since I putty then down to the right saucers w/ right amount of putty. When I use the putty I make chubby worm shape and press into the area of the item you want secure Would not go without it.

I've enjoyed the Antiques Roadshow book and the descriptions which I will use for future reference.

If you are just getting into collecting, this is a fun book to review. Lots of overall ideas of varieties of collectibles...for more serious colletors, I would suggest books oriented to the subject matter of interest.

Nice book and provides considerable information. The author does cover alot of territory in one book. Should consider a series and provide more photos.

Most of the pages in this book are a drab black & white print, with a few (emphasis on few) pages in the middle that are glossy, full-color. I was thinking "coffee table book" when I bought it, but it's definitely not that fancy. I sent it back.

If you are into collecting this is the book for you. It has lots of interesting facts and discussions about why people collect things and how to get started if you're thinking about a collection. It doesn't talk about EVERYTHING though, so if you are really into a specific collectible you would be better off with a book that addresses that collectible.

This is a 1997 program, one hour only, with review stating it is a "new 2006 release". There is nothing new. It is not furniture...lots of misc. stuff, artwork, musical instuments, rug etc. Save your money. This is not what is advertised. I am going to see if I can return it. If I could rate it a big fat ZERO...I would!
