![]() Rare Earth Magnets are strong, use the channel on the bottom, then two pairs of magnets per panel, your kids could probably climb them without pulling them off. Need to use STRONG glue to keep the Magnets in place. Each Magnet is about the size of a Nickel, but thicker. I've got some that I'm gonna make glass mount Frag plugs out of.

![]() Fish I bought rare earth magnets at Lee Valley. I was afraid to walk past the counters on the way out, thinking I'd be covered in metal stuff......

![]() Yeah, they're STRONG. I have a 3/4" one on each of my hood doors to hold them up.
Just be sure you dont accidently lump them all together, or else you'll be HOOPED when you try to separate them :P

![]() Well, based on you folks' experience, I stopped by Lee Valley today and picked up 10 rare earth magnets. I just went with the 1/2" diameter and even then I am worried they might be too strong!
![]() I am just using some gorilla glue to attach them to the top of the eggcrate screens. It says that I should clamp them when glueing, and I didn't, so I guess we will see how it goes.... - Chad
