There is a product called Blue Tack. It does go by other names, but basically it is a blue gum like substance. It won't leave any stains. I think it also goes by a name that refers to it as something like poster tack.

True museum grade earthquake wax shouldn't leave any residue. As it is "museum grade".
I'll see if I can rustle up the name of the stuff we use at work.

OR... you could do the thing they did at the Getty where all the statues are on a base that has sealed ball bearings in it. So when an eartquake hits, the staues stay in place while the room moves around it.

And remember, there is no such thing as "earthquake proof". Only earthquake resistant.

I truly hope there isn't a big quake soon, as my victorian china cabinet with all of my mugs earthquake waxed on it will just tip over, and boom there go my mugs.
