Museum wax is also a type of glue that is used to hold things in place so that they don’t fall and break anytime soon.

Primarily used in museums, the main purpose of this glue is to keep your valuables safe from any sudden movements and accidents.One thing about the museum putty is that it is made from a combination of latex-type materials, and therefore, it is very soft and pliable.

A little wax goes a long way, so use small quantities first before coating the whole base of that purple unicorn with a 1/4 inch slab of wax. Always remove objects with a slow steady twisting motion to release the wax, or slice the wax with dental floss or monofilament fishing line.
