It IS affected by gravity, however. Don’t try to use it to attach posters to the wall. The results will not be pretty, and the oozing Museum Gel down your wall will make a mess.

Since then, the practice of securing works of art and collections has become popular among both professionals and private collectors. It is perfect for preventing accidental damage of valuable items prone to disturbance through vibration or in busy areas where they may be more vulnerable.

Even when they have been bumped or headbutted by my cats, they do not move.
