Has anyone ever used a product called "Museum Wax"?  It's a
microcrystalline wax that's suppose to be safe for securing pottery,
glass, wood, etc., but  I'm hesitant to stick this stuff on
artifacts.  I received some of their literature in the mail, and I
could use something like this if it's safe.

It's produced by a company in California called Trevco that makes
earthquake-proofing devices.  They also make a picture frame hook
that keeps the framed item from jumping (or being easily lifted) from
the wall.  I've been looking for a hook that's more secure than the
kind you'd buy at the hardware store, and perhaps someone can
recommend one that works well.  Thanks!
