Hold music to a music stand if you are playing a gig outside (not great for page turns, though).ġ1. ![]() Temporarily stick a recipe to the kitchen cabinet door while cooking.ġ0. I used quake putty to build a 3D ridge between the router and the edge you couldn’t see it, but it would prevent the router from sliding forward without interfering with the ability to pick it up.ĩ. We had a wireless router on a high shelf a while ago that we didn’t want to stick down, because I had to access the back panel every now and then, but didn’t want it slipping off and crashing onto things below. Non-permanently supporting part of cabinet touch latches that stick out over shelves (see my earlier article about touch latches).Ĩ. Covering ugly screws visible in otherwise white plastic see Figures 2 (before), and 3 (after).ħ. Blocking ants from entering the bathroom through a hole in the tiles.Ħ. Holding random loose parts of things so that they don’t move (like a useless D-ring on the bottom of my violin case that would flip out and interfere with it lying flat until I put a small dab of quake putty behind it see Figure 1).ĥ. ( * For use on painted walls, please see the comments at the end of this article for important caveats.)Ĥ. Holding the lower corners of a framed picture far enough away from the wall that the picture doesn’t tilt downwards too much from a 3D hook. Similarly, holding in place the lower corners of a framed picture that would otherwise be difficult to keep straight on its hook. Non-permanently attaching posters to the wall (it’s actually sold for that purpose also). Here's a list of 20 varied uses I’ve found for this stuff over the years, and a few more as I let my imagination run wild.ġ. Part 1: At the risk of sounding like a commercial (I have no financial interests in any of these products), that’s not ALL you can do with them. You’ll find a few variations of this stuff under different names including Quakehold Putty, Museum Putty, Amazing Stuff, Quake Secure, and a few related products like Museum Wax and Quakehold Gel, but they all have one thing in common: they let you non-permanently stick down small objects to prevent them from falling or flying in an earthquake. One package of putty will do more than 40 hooves.For this article, let’s take a closer look at one of the more versatile tools in your quake-preparedness toolbox, quake putty. Eleda's collection, which includes Pacers, Tennessee Walkers, and the dreaded domino-inducing Hanoverians, has remained safe since we discovered Museum Putty several years ago, even during an extremely rare 4.0 magnitude earthquake we had in 2013! Not even a Pacer shifted! There's a rock quarry less than a mile from Triple Mountain's office, and when they blast, everything shakes here. Each 2.64oz (75g) package comes with instructions. For very tippy models, two or more hooves may need some putty for added safety. ![]() Obviously, every situation is different, so no guarantees come with the product, but a pea-sized nub pressed onto the bottom of one hoof and then onto a shelf is generally enough to keep most models secure. ![]() It is easy to apply, removes cleanly, and can be re-used over and over for years! We often use it as a prop when photographing tippy models and the same small ball is still soft and workable after all this time. Museum Putty is non-toxic, non-staining, clean and easy to use. If you live with pets or children, near rumbling traffic, or yes, in an earthquake-prone area, you probably worry often about tippy models starting the domino-effect. QuakeHold Museum Putty is the best product you can buy for keeping your models on their feet.
