Whenever there is a desire to decorate a magnetic board or refrigerator door, irreplaceable magnets are always remembered. How much warmth and tenderness is in what is done with your own hands. If you have a blank, a favorite photo or a creative poster for decoration, then it's just a little thing - to glue the magnet.
It is necessary
- - magnet
- - glue "Moment universal"
- - sandpaper or nail file (grit 80)
- - double sided tape
- - alcohol, acetone or solvent
- - cotton pad
Instructions
Step 1
Carefully prepare the surface to which the magnet is to be glued. If it is plaster of Paris (alabaster), remove any irregularities and protruding notches. Do this with a fine emery cloth (emery paper) or an artificial nail file (grit 80). Move only in one direction - when moving "back and forth" the plaster can crack. When the magnet needs to be glued to wood or plastic, clean the surface. Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol / acetone / solvent to a cotton pad and wipe down the desired area. Let dry on your own. Do the same with the magnet (if you glue it on).
Step 2
When the magnet needs to be glued to wood or plastic, clean the surface. Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol / acetone / solvent to a cotton pad and wipe down the desired area. Let dry on your own. Do the same with the magnet (if you stick it with glue).
Step 3
To glue the self-adhesive magnet, cut a piece to the required length. Remember that with this type of gluing, the product should be very light. For example, a small fridge magnet or a photograph. Remove the protective film from the magnetic strip, press it to the place prepared on the product. Hold for a few seconds.
Step 4
Thin magnetic tape is also suitable for adhering to lightweight flat products. There is no self-adhesive layer on it, so, depending on your needs, you can use either double-sided tape or glue. If using glue, apply a thin, wavy line from beginning to end of the magnet. Do not apply directly to the product, hold it in the air for 10-15 seconds. Press firmly against the prepared area. Wait another 20-30 seconds. Do not use the product right away, preferably the next day.
Step 5
For heavy wood or plastic products, ordinary magnets are used. They can be of various thicknesses and shapes. To glue such a magnet, first clean the surfaces from dust, grease and dirt. Apply some glue as if it were on the surface of a magnet. If you have a precise location on the product, you can apply glue to it.
Step 6
Do not apply immediately, let the glue adhere a little to the surface, 15 seconds. Apply the magnet to the product, press firmly. Hold this for 30 seconds. If the product is not fragile, then put something heavy on top for a day for a better fixing result. After the time has elapsed, carefully lift the press, check that the magnet is firmly seated.
