Magnets - anywhere to buy in canada
Looking for small plastic magnets to hold frag rack. Anyone know of retailer in Canada?
Have to go through 1" acrylic. The ones sold with frag racks at lfs are too weak... Best I could find was at kjmagnetics.com in the US, but the ones I would need are $26 each, hoping someone knows of better deal... Thx |

Strong rare earth magnets are expensive. I just use cheap Hagen glass cleaners.

You can get rare earth magnets at Lee Valley Tools for decent prices.. just picked up some 3/4" disks with 22lb holding pull strength for $9 for 5.
They would have to be coated for a tank, but it might something that would work for you. |

Checked out princess auto and lee valley. I don't think any of there magnets are strong enough, I prob need about 60lbs pull force... Also would rather not have to coat them..
Same goes for Hagen glass cleaners.. |

I got 20 x 3/8 rare earth for $11 at lee valley. And that's ALOT of rare earth magnets. A couple bigger would probably be less than $15-20.... For sure.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |

Hi Guys,
sorry to hijack, but do you guys think this will work for 10mm glass? also do you need to coat the magnets? http://www.princessauto.com/en/detai...ts/A-p8183915e thanks |

I was just about to suggest Princess Auto.
I think those 8mm ones might be a bit small.... We've got a whole bunch of those ones on our fridge at home. Wish I was there and I would test them out.... http://www.princessauto.com/en/detai...ts/A-p8183907e These ones on the other hand, I struggle to get off the fridge... I bet these would work. Maybe even too strong lol. I made the mistake of using one to stick a couple receipts on the fridge and it was so stuck to the fridge it let me remove the paper around the magnet... but I couldn't get the magnet off. Otherwise it's princess auto... just return them! |
