A good time to double-check the museum wax. Museum wax doesn't hold up very well when the temperatures start rising. Mine has melted to the point of looking like Vaseline on some of my mugs and they easily came off the bookshelf I was dusting this week. Of course with all of the termite damage to my apartment building I think saving my mugs will be the last thing on my mind when a big earthquake hits. The museum wax hasn't left any stains on the wood, but I would test it on an inconspicuous location if you have nice furniture.
