Need help finding magnets
 
I'm building a couple of scale warbirds and civilian aircraft and I cannot find a source for the small
rare earth magnets that come in some foam models to hold hatches shut. That's what I want to use on my airplanes to hold hatches closed.

Does anyone have a clue on where you get these small round rare earth magnets?

Thanks in advance,
Andy

I picked up some nice ones at Rockler. They also have cups and washers for disk magnets here: http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?p...3&cookietest=1 Another place I've bought magnets is at www.magnetsource.com.

You can get NIB (rare earth) magnets at any toy store. They are in Magnetixs toys.. just remove them from the pieces.

Hey Andy,

I got mine from Magcraft in a 100-piece lot. Very affordable! They supply them in various sizes and shapes for most any purpose. Here's the link: http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/Se...=Disc&All=True

Ditto. They also have an Ebay store sometimes with deals.
