Have you tried the vehicle sign companies they do the stuff for removable signs on cars I've found a couple on eBay in the UK that were good for the bottom of boxes |

As 66 says, if you have them locally they may give you their off cuts. |

McMaster Carr has every sort of sheet you would want, and probably to source of most retail magnetic products link |

I've ordered from both McMaster Carr and mscdirect.com The key is to check the thickness of the magnetic strip. Both of these companies have 1/32" Thick strips which will be stronger than the types found in hobby stores. |

PM sent. I have three strengths… |

Any local sign shop will sell you any length of very strong magnetic sheeting as described by several above. That's how I get mine, then I use Liquid Nails to glue it into the bottom of my boxes. Jim |

Extra Crispy,
You have three thicknesses? I only see thick and thin in your web store. How does the third one's strength compare with the others? |
| Extra Crispy | 10 Feb 2018 6:40 p.m. PST |
@Gokiburi: The third is not in the store, I just have a big stash for me. It is probably twice as strong as the thick. Maybe 3 times. I just bought it for making movement trays. Frankly, it's overkill for small minis. You'll pull the minis off the base! Email me and I can send you a sample. mark@scalecreep.com |

Magnet Valley…60mil sheets. Cunningham72 on ebay. |
 Doctor X | 11 Feb 2018 12:45 a.m. PST |
magnetking.com All kinds of sizes, colors, and types. I've ordered several times from them with great success. They will even cut to size for you. |

I use 60mil self-adhesive sheet from Magically Magnetic. It is not cheap, but the price includes shipping and it weighs a ton. Their service is fabulous. I often get it the next day. But I am in Ohio and they ship from PA, so not too far away. The thing is they ship the day I place my order most of the time. The heaviest pieces I use it for are Foundry and Old Glory 25/28mm mounted figures. I have no trouble, but I don't turn the trays upside down either. Tom |
