Mag-Maker
Welcome to B2B's Mag-Maker. Here, you can select between Magnetic or Magflex rubber sheeting, cut to any size and in any available shapes, as defined by the product menus above.
Select your shape, enter your required dimensions and quantity, then add them to the cart. It is user-friendly and straightforward. If you don't see what you're looking for, contact me, and I'll do my best to add it to the options available.
Both materials are adhesive-backed. Peel away the protective paper and apply it to your required flat surface for a secure bond.
These materials are used in my Magnetic and Magflex Movement Tray range in the Movement Tray Maker (MTM). Check them out if you want more than just the sheeting.
Large sizes are great for lining your model transport case or shelves, making it easier to transport your magnetic-based models.
Smaller pieces are great for Base Bottoms for the bases of your wargaming miniatures. Check out the Shape Maker for all your MDF or Acrylic base needs.
Precision cut from the materials in the menu above. Available in any amount.
Points of note:
Any piece over A4 (210mm x 300mm) in size MAY result in your entire order being shipped in a rolled format (packed inside a packing tube or box). I will determine what will be safest for your shipment at the time of packing. Once received, unroll it and lay it flat, then place a heavy weight or weights on top for 24 hours to flatten it.
Magnetic Sheet: 0.9mm thickness. Gloss brown in colour. This magnetised material (M) is best used with Magflex Base Bottoms or with ferrous/iron-based products, such as washers.
Magflex Sheet 0.6mm thickness. Satin Brown in colour. This material is NOT magnetised (NM) and is best used with other Rare Earth Magnets or Magnetic Base Bottoms.
PLEASE READ: Both materials can overlap in many applications. However, when choosing the best material for your project, there is something to consider.
Magnetic sheet: Suppose a precise location is not a factor for your models, such as transport on a tray, where models can be placed randomly, close together, without touching each other. Any iron/ferrous-based models (e.g., washers glued on the underside) can be used without issue with the Magnetic sheet. It's also the best strength option.
However, this material is magnetised with an invisible +ve and -ve polar grid pattern, approximately 2-3mm square, across its surface. So when attracting items like small magnets or other magnetic sheets to it, they will be pulled into alignment within this grid pattern, depending on both items' polarity, pull force, and location.
It is NOT recommended to use this material if you are looking for a precise location application (e.g., Rank & File formation of models), as, due to the above factors, your models can (and usually will) be pulled out of the formation you are trying to make. It IS recommended to use the Magflex sheet for this type of application (see below).
Magflex sheet is not magnetised. But it is iron-infused rubber, so as mentioned above, magnetic products will attract and stick to it. There is no polar grid across its surface, unlike the Magnetic Sheet, so a precise location can be obtained with your magnetic products (e.g., Rank & File models will not be pulled out of formation when placed alongside each other).
In summary, here are the combinations that should be followed:
Magnetic sheet in combination with Washers/Magflex Base Bottoms
