[sorry for the late reply]
I've purchased museum wax from Home Depot --- but then, I live in southern
California.
It was in an earthquake-safety-themed endcap with bookcase straps and plumber's
tape (for securing water heaters).
However, museum wax can be purchased on-line from homedepot.com. Search on
"museum wax".

You might try museum wax, also marketed as "quake" wax from a conservation
supply house like Conservation Resources International.

Subject: Question regarding artifact mounts (for ArqBall Spins)
Dear Histarchers ,
I am trying to create Arqball Spins (essentially a 360 degree image of
an artifact). In order to do that, you place an object on a rotating
stage (they sell one, but you can also use a lazy susan from an old
cabinet). However, I have been having difficulty getting the object
mounted. I need something that is unobstrusive and can be rotated. I
would like to use a plasticine-like material that won't affect the
artifact. I have done multiple searches, but I thought that those of you
with more museum experience might be more knowledgeable about this. Any
other suggestions for mounts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
