I'm gearing up for my first art fair and I thought I would sell some refrigator magnets. I can get some flexible vinyl magnet stuff for free. I did a couple of samples and they stuck to the fridge OK but I would like the have the magnet a little stronger. Does the flexible vinyl sheeting come in different strenghts?

Hi
I don't think the strips come very strong at all. I would suggest trying e-bay and buying the super-strong but tiny neodynium (I know I spelled that wrong!) magnets. Get a glue gun (or some Liquid Nails) and glue a couple of those to the back of your glass and you will be in business. I use them now and they are really strong and are very thin so have a more polished look than the strip or a big fat ceramic magnet hanging off of your glass. Ebay has them for pennies a piece too.

Magnets
There was a thread quite a while ago about magnets that listed sources. Check out the archives. You can also get strong, round ones at Staples and Home Depot. They are pricier than need be but in a pinch, and to get started, they are fine.
