Video transcript

  1. 0:00Do magnets repel wood? Not in any way you could notice.
  2. 0:05Wood and MDF are almost invisible to magnets. The grip comes from a separate magnet on the back meeting a steel door.
  3. 0:15Think in links: door, gap, magnet, glue, printed face. Some stainless fronts don't attract, and any gap cuts grip steeply, so the magnet sits flush on the back.
  4. 0:27On a vertical door, friction holds, and a wooden face can outweigh the paper. Wide strips grip gently; small strong discs hold most, if their glue survives drops.
  5. 0:39Test it: check the door with a trusted magnet, watch for creep, add paper sheet by sheet, push sideways, press the bond. Write down a number, not 'strong'.
  6. 0:50The wood carries the picture; the magnet carries the load.
  7. 0:55Request a printed MDF sample and run the same test.
