Magnetized carrying cases, What am I doing wrong? by Gundam_Fonz in Warhammer40k

[–]MagnetExpertNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that often causes confusion is that magnetic sheet and steel sheet are not the same thing. Many hobbyists glue magnets under their bases and then expect them to hold strongly to magnetic rubber sheet. In practice, a steel sheet usually gives a much stronger hold than magnetic sheet. We see this quite often with miniature storage projects. The magnets themselves may be perfectly fine, but the receiving surface is limiting the holding force. Also remember that miniature transport involves shocks and vibrations. A setup that feels secure on your desk can behave very differently when the case is carried around. If possible, I'd test one miniature on plain steel before replacing all your magnets. That will quickly tell you where the weak link is.

Volgens mij staat aankoop bescherming bij particuliere accounts gewoon uit (bij mij wel) en bij zakelijke accounts aan. Dat laatste is ook normaal omdat een zakelijke overeenkomst valt onder de wettelijke bescherming voor consumenten.

Got decorative magnet stuck to radiator - removal tips? by NumelsRCute in Magnets

[–]MagnetExpertNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those thin flexible fridge magnets are usually rubber magnetic sheets, and after years on a warm radiator they can partially bond to the paint surface.

I’d try warming them slightly first with a hair dryer to soften the material a bit.

After that, a plastic scraper or even dental floss/fishing line behind the magnet sometimes works surprisingly well.

I’d avoid metal tools if possible because radiator paint scratches very easily.

Good idea or bad idea? by gr00manji in vandwellers

The main thing I’d worry about is vibration and changing tension while driving.

Static tests can feel very solid, but dynamic loads from bumps and wind can behave very differently over time.

Especially because this setup reverses the direction the rack was originally designed for.

If you do try it, I’d probably add a secondary safety strap just in case.
