To use magnets to attach a 20 lb sculpture to the bottom of a metal stair, would one be enough? Can I adhere it to the sculpture with epoxy?

As far as the weight I think yes it will definitely hold the 20 LBs. However I believe if you glue it as soon as you come within 1/4" of whatever metal you're attaching it to it might rip itself or the sculpture with it when it attaches to the metal. The attraction force up close is VERY violent.

This is exactly what I used it for. I have all iron staircase that extends all the way through the second floor in a balcony style. I just wrapped the ends of the sheet around the last iron spingles and tied the ties through both sheets at the very top and then again at bottom. You can improvise with it quite easily.

A magnet does not stick to the bottom, it had me wondering so I just had to try that .. :)

I'd say a good adhesive will work and moving the magnet should be done by gripping the magnet proper.

I would say no. I just put a magnet on the bottom of one and got no attraction.

interesting Q.... I just tried mine (not yet mounted) and yes it grabbed very well to the metal refrig side. It would probably take the magnet with it tho' as you draw. I'd use a couple small screwsShould work fine. The magnets are VERY powerful. I have two I just received and they will leap together and would nip a fingertip off if you are not careful.Steve

I think you would be better off with one of those metal ones that has bigger wheels. This particular one has small wheels and probably would not handle the stairs that well.

Yes if you can use gorilla glue or super glue the magnetic bar to the back of the bar, and I would use gorilla glue.

I wouldn't risk it, because any weight placed on the shelf is likely to wrench it off the wall along with a good bit of paint. I have never used epoxy glues on this kind of scale, but I think the strength of the bond between epoxy and shelf would turn the bond between paint and drywall into a point of failure.

I used a rare earth magnet, like this one http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Magnets-Earth-Neodymium-Discs/dp/B0012AUU84/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp2_Jpcdsb1MR98FM_tt and super-glued it to the back to stick it to the refrigerator. It works well... and I have 99 magnets to spare! :-)

the magnet seems strong enough. I think the question would be if you are able at attach it to the door (assuming the door is metal)

Sure...good idea, but then you wouldn't be able to stack them which are the purpose of legos right? The magnets wouldn't be strong enough to build on though. Hoped I helped.

Probably not... I don't think the magnets would be strong enough to have it attach.

We have both the magformers and the magnatiles, while the pieces will stick together because they both have magnets, I don't think you can build anything using them together.

Absolutely! These rare earth magnets are powerful enough to support the weight of a standard size elephant but gentle enough that you will be able to lift them off once they attach. I have also used them when I bungee jump to attach the bungee to the deck that I am jumping off. Then when I am at the bottom my friends just lift the magnet off.

I would think so, depending on what you're trying to glue them to, but I haven't tried it. The magnets are really strong. I would definitely test it on one first to make sure the magnet doesn't pull away from the hot glue when it's stuck on a metal surface. I used the craft glue because I wanted to make sure they were really hard to pull off since they're on magnets for kids to play with.

Normally, magnets don't stick to aluminum. Only specific alumninum alloys, which are for specific design, have any magnetic attraction. You will need steel trays for this wonderful idea.
