Magnets for acrylic "door" panel on stand.

WDKegge · Oct 9, 2018

My sump came out so nice I decided to instead of using the doors that came with my stand that I am going to use a 41" by 31" 3/16 sheet of tinted acrylic.

I have been googling around looking for small magnets to use for this, I have found several on amazon, but everything seems to tout how insanely strong they are. I am looking for something more to just click into place, but to come apart without having to wrench on it. I also need something relatively thin to keep the acrylic from sticking out too far.

I have built many a stand skin. I use neodymium magnets. The type i prefer are about an 1/8" thick, and are approximately 1/2" x 1". Should be relatively easy to source.

This ^^^^^^

Amazon has those long bar neodymium bars. Used them on many a project. I'd recommend epoxy coating them as they will rust.
