OT: Best Glue

What would be the best glue to use to glue a STRONG magnet to a piece of plastic? (I think polystyrene, it's a magnifier that my wife sticks to her needlepoint pattern holder.) ...Jim Thompson

Superglue? (Total guess!)

Can you just sandwich the plastic between two magnets, and not use any glue? Or, (just thinking out loud), I've seen some rare earth type magnets with little holes in the middle. How about an aluminum or stainless rivet?

I'd try hot-melt... Or epoxy, but hot-melt seems more flexible, which may help here.

I've had good luck with moderately fast cure (10-15 minute) 2 part
epoxy.

Not Glue, Adhesive foam tape. 3M VHB, the black stuff. Will stick to most things except water ;) Although the Grey version to also good. I think you can get thickness's down to 0.015"

Cheers

Pull strength? These magnets are strong... so strong I may apply a layer of tape just to give a pull-reducing gap :-) ...Jim Thompson

construction adhesive is a pretty strong glue,good for many surfaces. Liquid Nails or similar.

Or, lose the adhesives entirely, and just position a small slug of iron or steel on the opposite side. :-)

I think some where around 150lb/in^2. This is the stuff for automotive trim.

Heres the data sheet...

Can you screw a small piece of tinned iron to the device? Then you dont need glue.

Not to the magnet, but to the device . The magnet just sticks to two strips.

I've found that Gorilla glue is the best GP glue. Sticks nearly anything to anything. As always, make sure everything is clean & dry. Find it in home improvement centers.

Here is what they have on hand...

I've used the 4926 (grey 95lb/in^2) 15mill for holding touchscreens to LCD panels. It doesn't separate easily ;) Wipe (scrub?) the surface with alcohol , let dry, then apply tape. The bond increases in strength over a 24 hr period. (Its in that data sheet)

The black VHB is for more finicky surfaces. But the grey may work for you.
