Im looking for a natural (rock) looking frag rack to use in my new 250 build. Looking for one with magnets 🧲 not suction cups because over time suction cups always seem to fail. I can find plenty that say good for 1/2 inch glass but not 3/4. Im wondering if i can use the ones for 1/2 inch and just buy different outside magnets? Has anyone done this before, or are there racks already pre made for 3/4 glass made to look like rock? Any suggestions, ideas, pics etc. Would be much appreciated!!
 
Little late on seeing this, the Giga is ~20% stronger than most equivalent magnets for lbs of force on 3/4" glass.

That said there are 4 things to know.
- If using morter or another bond it will very securely hold on my magnets due to the shape.
- The silicone grip pad is often used on the outside magnets for racks but in your case you would likely want to use on the inside.
- Several key safety features for long term use on a rock already built in.
- If the rock is big enough, doubling up 2 sets of any of our magnets side by side will noticeably increase strength if you have the room.
