Securing Small Decorative Objects

We secure small, decorative items with QuakeWax. A similar product is also sold as "Museum Wax". For instance, the items on our mantle below are all secured with a small amount of QuakeWax on the bottom. From the photo is is clear that you cannot see that there is a layer of wax under the vases. This system worked well for us in the Mogul earthquake in 2008. Only one item fell; that was to be honest too large and heavy for the wax to have any chance of holding under accelerations of about 1g.
