magnets for frag rack

[PoorReefer]

What strength magnet would you recommend for use on 1/2" glass? I want to make a DYI frag rack.

When I made frag racks, I usually got the cheapest 1" x 3/8" neodymium magnets for the inside and the epoxy coated 1" x 1/4" neodymium magnets for the outside, for 1/2" glass. The inside magnets do have to be totally coated with something that is saltwater safe.

The key is to epoxy coat them. I ordered some on Amazon, they were strong but not sealed well. Would love to find a better source if anyone has one.

Great thread questions :)

Do a search here on R2R for neodymium magnets. There are several threads that refer to sources for them.

my go-to is www.kjmagnetics.com

If they don't have it nobody does. I use the 3/4" x 3/8 plastic coated ones rated for, I think, 10.8lb
