I use commercial grade Velcro to hang pictures, up to 16x20 with small frame, on the walls of my motor home. Some have been there for 50,000 miles over all kinds of roads. I use the magnetic tape to attach carpet to the outside steps of the motor home. I do add hot glue to the tape, but I leave the carpets on the steps when driving. I've never lost one. They wear out in about 2 years, and I remove the magnetic tape and put them on the back of new carpet. Either would work, but the magnetic tape will be easy to take down and clean the fridge door, it the door is a metal that will hold the magnet. If you're worried about the adhesive giving way, just tack the magnet down with hot glue or a bit of gorilla glue. -- "You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, 'My God, you're right!

Yes, you're right there is type of stainless called "Austenitic" that, in the right conditions, is non magnetic. Slap it with a hammer (or other tooling) and it becomes quite attracted to magnets, however. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |

At one time, before alloys that were magnetic become commonplace, the standard test was to apply a magnet--if it didn't stick the part was steel (aluminum and magnesium you could tell by weight, and titanium, well, it didn't exist commercially). -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
