Pot magnets for bonding (2)
A pot magnet to be glued has a smooth, flat back without a hole or thread. Glue it into or onto your workpiece, ideal when drilling or screwing is not possible or desirable, such as in furniture, displays and models. The steel pot concentrates the force on the front, making it much stronger than a loose magnet of the same size.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which glue should I use?
For a permanent bond, we recommend a two-component epoxy glue, such as UHU Plus. Second contact adhesive or assembly kit can also be used, but is less strong against shocks and vibrations.
How do I ensure the glue bonds properly?
Clean both surfaces and remove grease, and lightly roughen smooth parts. Allow the glue to cure completely according to the packaging before applying a load to the magnet. Glue only the back, not the contact surface.
Can I glue the magnet into a recess?
Yes, that is a commonly used method. Route or drill a hole the size of the magnet so that it lies flush with the surface.
Do I get a discount for larger quantities?
Yes, you automatically receive volume discounts. Businesses order on account or request a quote. Business ordering.
