I have magnetic IKEA spice containers that I'm planning on mounting on to a magnetic board. The magnets on the containers are heavy duty and should be able to adhere to metal no problem (unlike the magnets that come with the board, evidently). However, is the metal of the board strong enough to support these cannisters if they are filled with craft supplies?

The magnetization of this board is excellent for refrigerator type, and even stronger magnets. I think it will depend upon the size of the containers and the weight of the contents. I get a lot of this type of question which means that Soho needs to be more informative with weight applications and the strength of the magnetization with examples.

I have my craft supplies in the same containers. I wouldn't put real heavy items in them, but it works fine for me - has never been a problem at all. Good luck!

It is galvanized steel, so magnets work. But, it's also mesh so it doesn't have a solid surface to hold real well. I put a kitchen magnet on it, and it held. But it was easy to slide the magnet around. So I can't fully answer your question , without knowing what your doing with the magnets.

The board is not magnetic at all. It is just a sheet of stainless steel formed into a square. It has to be mounted with screws (not recommended for a fridge) or some kind of adhesive.

I doubt it, I went looking for foodsafe magnets for this purpose and couldn't find them. You don't want your spices contacting the magnets.

it's a pretty strong magnet, but not sure about hanging with the knives hanging down like that...if they fall off...oh boy. We have it mounted on the wall and they stay at that position very well...sometimes it's even hard to pull them off... but, again I would be worried if it's under the cabinet. If the knife was lite weight...maybe....

Yeah these magnets held up cardboard against my refrigerator, they may be small but their magnetism is very strong to other magnetic objects.

Louise, The back of this magnetic board is open like a stretched canvas would be. I am sure it would not magnetically hold onto a metal surface. You need something flat that maybe you could paint the back of with magnetic paint. We hung ours on nails in our plaster wall and used a level to make sure it was straight. We love it. It keeps clutter off the fridge. Only regret is I should have gotten a bigger one.

It is metal for the magnets. I would not be able to use mine for a dry erase board.

Good question. I just tried some magnets and none of them stuck. So it seems whatever it is made of is not iron or steel.

Never tried putting a magnet on it. I'm no metallurgist, but from the feel of it I would guess a magnet would not stick, but I honestly don't know.

It's the distance between the top and bottom of the table you need to consider. I have a wooden butcher block table (an inch and a quarter of Teak) and I put one magnet on top and eight magnets below. Although the eight didn't fall, one slight bump or a move of the top magnet would make them drop. The magnetic force was too weak at that distance to hold with any real strength. If the table is thinner then maybe but this wasn't secure. If the table was magnetic metal then these magnets will stick - real fast and real hard.

Yes, the magnet is pretty strong. Only issue I had was keeping it clued onto a wood surface. Can't speak for other surfaces but if I had to guess on a plain wall iy should be fine. Hope this helps.

Sadly no. I tried with both fridge magnets and some slightly stronger ones I use on spice jars that also stick into my fridge. It would be easy enough to magnetize though.

yes.. the magnet on the back is pretty strong and had no problems holding my typical spices on the fridge... assuming your fridge is metal, some stainless colored fridges are non-magnetic.

These magnets were pretty strong. They may be too large in diameter to use on a name-tag. When I stuck two together without the spacer, they were incredibly hard to separate. I would recommend a rigid backer for the name-tag (otherwise you may get too much flex and peel on the edge of the magnet, between the magnet and the cloth (as you pull the tag away) and end up "peeling the magnet" off of the cloth. I used these to actually glue to another, weaker refrigerator magnet I had. I found the poles and got the strongest side to the refrigerator and used a surface insensitive super glue to bond them together. Since I don't take them on/off the fridge a lot, it seem to be holding so far. You may be able to use a hot-melt Hobby glue from Michael's too bond to the cloth, but I might suggest using the smaller, 1/2" version of these. I believe I've seen plastic tags that actually have a "Magnet Bar" with two 1/2" diameter magnets glued to a piece of metal and then the plastic piece has a metal bar glued to the back of that. When you wear the name tag, the magnets get "Sandwiched" between the two pieces of metal but the way they are attracted, the metal bar acts kind of like a "handle" when you take it off. If you search "Magnetic Name Badges" you will probably be able to find a picture of what I'm describing.

I don't know, as this was a gift to my daughter. She had originally wanted a magnetic spice holder, but she liked this better. This item installs on the inside of a cupboard. The inside shelf might need a bit of cutting on the shelf sided to allow for the spices.

You can screw a piece of steel strip onto the bottom of a shelf in your workshop and stick the magnets there. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that the magnets are powerful enough so that you could store the whole thing "upside down" and that the magnets would hold the plastic carrier on to the bottom of the shelf.
