Has anyone found magnets that work well?

Yes! You want "rare earth" or "Neodymium" magnets. They are STRONG and tough to pull apart. We like the 3/8 inch to hold 1-2 pages (B000E67ZO4) and the 1/2 inch to hold more/thicker pages (B000UCWU38). Good luck - and keep them apart on the board or they will "smash" into each other!

In my review, I complained about the quality of the plastic "cap" the magnets fit in. The manufacturer send me a several new magnets of a different design that work well. You may want to check with them. Else, any magnet that has a protective covering around it (so it wont scratch the surface) should work just fine. The stronger the magnet, the more it will hold.

If anyone wishes to purchase additional sets of the magnets that are included with the product, they can be found here:http://www.amazon.com/Set-Neodymium-Magnets-Plastic-Casings/dp/B0070O8NEE

Sadly no. I tried with both fridge magnets and some slightly stronger ones I use on spice jars that also stick into my fridge. It would be easy enough to magnetize though.

Hello, magnets wont work, but it does come with sheet holders that work pretty good.

YES the magnets do. However, they are NOT the best magnets because I am constantly re-organizing them because they are always falling off the refrigerator.

Sorry, I do not. They are very thin though. I made magnets for two people and they put them on their cars, they came off the first day they had them on. They are okay for decoration, but not really going to do much to hold more then a single sheet of paper. They are just thick enough to hold themselves on metal and not much else. They are probably as thick as 100 pound card stock. Hope that helps.

Hello, Thank you for contacting us. Yes, Gorilla glue or super glue should hold the magnet in place. With regards, Faye

Neodymium magnets will definitely hold. The question is whether magnetic paint has enough magnetic material for the magnets to stick to. It may take several coats of paint to provide enough magnetic content.

For me, the magnets are very strong. Like all magnets, they work best if attached to solid, thick iron or steel. Mine is attached to one of the frames underneath. A metal alloy, or iron/steel with a thick covering (like rust-proofing) will weaken the bond.

Sorry, no they do not appear to be magnetic, I have a couple different magnets that will not stick to them!

They are pretty strong.I used mine to secure kitchen cabinet doors that didn't want to close properly. If one magnet per door doesn't work, then I'm sure multiples would.

I don't know if they are really that magnetic, but you could always superglue a magnet to the back of you are wanting to make magnets. I use them for ornament making and hot glue sticks to them very well.

Antonio, thanks for the question. The magnets are very strong and just in case you are not totally satisfied, write me and I'll take care of you. No worries at all.

Eric, there are no magnets. I would be careful when buying products that have magnets because of quality. I would talk to people and get their input.

There is a magnet embedded in the collar buckle. If that is lost or not working almost any magnet will work. I just tried a refrigerator magnet and it worked fine. Good luck.

I haven't had any come off the magnet. They are easy to fit together to make the gears spin & change the patterning of how they spin. I use them in my Kindergarten classroom & my kids love them! I just tried to pull it off the base and couldn't. They seem pretty sturdy.

Yes, they have a magnet that holds them in place but it's not extremely strong.

I haven't. There is an insert that comes with the case that tells you the best way to insert your credit/debit cards to prevent them from becoming de-magnetized.
