Hi Dakka,

Would these magnets be appropriate for magnetizing terminator arms? They are only N35 will this be strong enough to hold the arms in place?

this is the best link I can think of as far as magnets go.

Im working on a Deathwing project and I am using 1/8 by 1/16 thick (3mm x 1.5mm) seems to hold on arms fine. standard arms, lightning claw or TH/SS.

the only arm that is an issue is the sword of silence arm for Belial I made, but the sword is anime huge, like 55mm tall.

I'v used 3x1 mm rare earth magnets of the same strength on my terminators and the arms are sitting strong. I'd probably use ones that are 1 mm deep or you might get into problems with drilling to deep. You might have no floor left to glue those magnets onto.
