Magnetic Strip

MAGNETIC STRIP

On a Vertical Surface 

Magnetic Strip can be cut with regular scissors and applied to any flat, smooth vertical surface.  Proper adhesion requires full contact with the vertical surface.  So if you have uneven walls, the magnetic strip will likely not adhere well.Using Magnetic Strip  Consider some of our other spice storage ideas.

If you are using several sizes of spice tin, you can mount different widths.  It is likely that all the tins, except the 2.5 oz. Simplicity are tall enough to bump into cabinet shelves if not spaced properly on the door.  So you might consider mounting the strips horizontally to aid in placing tins where they will not bump the cabinet shelves.

Creating Stackable Spice Tins

No wall space?  Create a beautiful stacked spice tin solution, by cutting magnetic strip to fit the bottom of Bravada Square tins.  We have an entire separate page devoted to helping you see how it's done.  Keep in mind that in order to get the full contact needed for the tins to stack, you must cut the magnetic strip yourself.  The precut magnetic rounds below will not work for this.  The standard 3" wide strip shipped with our 8 oz. Bravada tins is exactly what you need to stack this size.  When ordering 4 oz. Bravada tins, be sure to opt for the wider 2.5" magnetic strip.  The 1.5" standard strip is not wide enough to properly cover the bottom of the 4 oz. tins for this solution. 

Click here if you would like to view the "How to Create a Stackable Spice Storage Solution".    Be sure to add our FREE Stackable Template to your shopping cart, if you are going to stack your tins.  It is a simple template guide to assist you in cutting the magnetic strip to fit your Bravada Squares.  We will also include a printed copy of the "How to Create Stackable Spice Storage" with your order.

PRECUT MAGNETIC ROUNDS

  • on a vertical surface to give each tin its very own space

All about Flexible Magnetic Material

All of our flexible magnets are permanent magnets, remaining magnetized indefinitely if not subjected to a demagnetizing force.  The adhesive found on flexible magnetic materials varies. 

We have chosen to provide outdoor grade adhesive on our magnetic strips to ensure its hold on your vertical surface with the added weight of the filled spice tins.  Our precut rounds and magetic sheet are indoor grade adhesive.  This does not mean these will not be as reliable as the strip.  It simply means that, in our testing, the weight of the filled tins was amply supported by the indoor grade and, therefore, the additional cost to our customers was not warranted.

How Strong is Flexible Magnetic Material?

A picture is worth a thousand words! 

How Strong?

Spice tins with precut rounds on a refrigerator.  From the top, moving clockwise, a 2.5 oz. Simplicity, 4 oz. Simplicity, 16 oz. Applause and 8 oz. Simplicity.  The 16 oz. Applause is filled with granulated sugar.  The filled tin weighs 1 lb. 1 oz. holding approx. 2 cups of sugar.

Sizing Flexible Magnetic Materials:

Whether you choose Magnetic Strip or Magnet Sheet for your magnetic solution, they can easily by cut to meet your size requirements.  All you need is a regular pair of scissors. 

Applying Flexible Magnetic Materials:

The adhesive back of the magnetic material is pressure-sensitive.  To achieve maximum adhesion, 10-20 lbs of pressure must be applied.  The 'best way' to apply this pressure is by using a "J" roller.  J ToolA "J" Roller is a tool used for putting down laminate.  They are available at your local do-it-yourself home improvement store.  You may also apply pressure with the heel of your hand or a rolling a soup can.  After you have mounted the strip on a vertical surface, such as a pantry door or cabinet door, be sure to let is cure for 24 hours before putting any spice tins on it.

Removing Flexible Magnetic Materials:

If you need to remove the magnetic materials for any reason, it is recommended to use an adhesive solvent, such as Goof-Off to aid in the process.  Peel back a small corner from the top of your applied magnetic material.  Pour some of the solvent behind it. Begin to gently pull.  Add more solvent as necessary.  Note:  You may remove some of the finished surface of cabinets, walls or doors.  Slow removal and solvent will reduce the likelihood of damaging the vertical surface.
