Jez,
I had to Google "BluTack" since it is unknown to me; but it
seems to be similar. My Aunt has an old china mantle clock that has been
in our family for generations. When I was out visiting a few years back
I noticed little blobs of sticky wax under each of its feet. I tried to
lift it from the shelf and they stuff holds it pretty firmly in place;
enough anyway to survive a 4-5 Richter (I hope). Ironically the clock
survived the Great Charleston Earthquake of 1876 without wax.

Boy, I'm glad I live in a place where I've never heard of Earthquake
Wax!
(Is it like BluTak?)
