Magnetic Transports

@Radar thanks for the detailed reply, apologies I only just saw this.

So far I got the sheet, bearing in mind I’m doing only Europe 1940 edition for now. I trialed some ferite magnets with a 0.6kg pull, but they were not enough to reliably attract through the board, then I bought a sample of these and they are pretty strong. That’s about as cheap as I can find for that strength.

I should probably try to find a print out of the game because with 400 pieces these magnets will cost around £200!

@CWO-Marc No problem, I just couldn’t bring myself to buy a $29.00 can of paint that would never bu used. I already had the Sakrete from a Hyphatufa planting pot I made. So there ya go. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures from my IPad to this forum I’ll update it.

I used to have an income tracker like this - but I’d love to see a whole game! :)

@wartorn:

A good do it yourself remedy since the market is super dry with them right now

And who knows when more will ever become available again.

@GeneralHandGrenade:

I couldn’t find any magnets that thin. I just redid mine yesterday and had to use thicker ones. Good job Sired.

I don’t know if they have Home Depot in Canada, but that’s where I got it, if not, you can find it here :

It has bad reviews lol, but it works good, just don’t stick to anything. However the drop of super glue seems to work, as they have never fell off.

Thanks for the comment cyanight, all your magnetic mods are pretty amazing!

We do have Home Depot (all over the place here), but they don’t seem to carry Magnetic Tape.,… well, they do, but it’s this stuff : https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.12-x-10-magnetic-tape.1000418120.html?autoSuggest=pip which wouldn’t work as it’s a LOT thicker.

I HAVE however seen that stuff at Micheals Arts and Crafts. You’re right, it doesn’t stick well (or at all) so superglue is a must.

Excellent work!  I love how it folds up so easily.

Ready to be placed on the board.
