What sort of magnets would you recommend for filling in the gaps and closing them?

It comes with the magnets already in their own little pockets. They are spaced round the edges of the blanket. So no gaps.

I don't believe this is what you are looking for. I am using is to make zero clearance inserts for my table saw. If I had any dry erase markers I would go mark one and see if I could erase it, but unfortunately I don't have any.

I myself would try 1-2 pretty strong magnets remember it is heat pad we use heat to remove glue,,think sir think,have a goood one jim h.

I did exactly that. I trimmed the strips down a bit so they would be less obtrusive. The magnets alone are definitely not strong enough to hold the deflector to the ceiling. In fact, I treated the magnets as if they weren't there at all. On another vent I just used heavy duty double sided foam tape, also trimmed down. That option is definitely the most solid, permanent approach for a ceiling application.

NO, I've used a lot of these magnets! They would not hold the pieces together. The Magnet isn't strong enough!

In my review, I complained about the quality of the plastic "cap" the magnets fit in. The manufacturer send me a several new magnets of a different design that work well. You may want to check with them. Else, any magnet that has a protective covering around it (so it wont scratch the surface) should work just fine. The stronger the magnet, the more it will hold.

I'm not sure that this would be a good application for these magnets. The magnetic field produced is very strong, but decreases rapidly with distance. I would imagine that you would have problems holding them in place. I would suggest that you buy the contacts and install them according to manufacturer's recommendations. For example, one well-liked offering on Amazon is Interlogix Door/Window Terminal Contact, Surface Mount, White by UTC (Formerly GE Security/Sentrol). There are several alternatives listed. While it might be nice to engineer your own system, these contacts are inexpensive and easy to install. This, I believe is preferable to using these magnets. This appears to be a case of not reinventing the wheel.

If you haven't heard of Weldbond, I highly recommend it for applications like this. It's easier to use than epoxy and I call it the "stick anything to anything glue". If you slide the magnets apart as opposed to simply trying to pull one off, they will release MUCH more easily, or use a notecard and slide it between them. Since the magnets are small, a notecard is probably your best option.

The magnets are drawn to the nail heads that attach the drywall to the studs. Usually those are close to center on the stud. I've never had an issue missing a stud.

I used a rare earth magnet, like this one http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Magnets-Earth-Neodymium-Discs/dp/B0012AUU84/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp2_Jpcdsb1MR98FM_tt and super-glued it to the back to stick it to the refrigerator. It works well... and I have 99 magnets to spare! :-)

This glue is strong if you are gluing one piece on top of another but I would use a differnent type of glue to fill gaps, like construction glue in a tube. What is it you are trying to glue?

I'd say a good adhesive will work and moving the magnet should be done by gripping the magnet proper.

You should build a non-magnetic globe around the magnet. There is another product which is exactly this, so if you didn't buy yet you should prefer buy the globe instead

I can only say to go to HomeDepot or Lowes for best way to fill the gap. It was suggested to use plywood and insulation.

Sure, you could do that. Obviously, the open/close function would not work - it depends on movement of the magnet portion. But the temperature and acceleration functions should still work.

Unless you need thick, strong magnets, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. If you are creating the tiles for a child to manipulate, I'd look for a weaker magnet. I've recently seen some approx the same size at a common arts/craft store. Also, the yellow you see in this pic is actually a small foam layer for the adhesive side; that was NOT in the description when I purchased the magnets. It caused the magnets to be unusable for my purpose.

Those should be driven out with a roll pin punch. These are not in too tight so a nail that is ground flat on the end could do the job. Good luck
