Never expected to find Holly while searching for ways to magnetize a wall. Glad I did though!

[@ccarb9801]

Your channel is amazing and your ideas on what works for the magnetic paint is very impressive! My question is what brand are those small but very strong magnets?! I'll be needing those 😁

[@lynnaddis6012]

i just said "i love you" out loud. i just built out my ruck bed for a fun camping redwood road trip with my kid and wanted to surprise her with by painting the inside of the truck canopy with chalkboard paint . buuut i really want magnetic too because it's the cheap aluminum top and magnets don't hold but the idea at the end is brilliant and perfect for us down to the pics and i don't care so i am letting her stick stickers of our stops on anyway. brilliant thank you !!!

[@wildbill23c]

Great update. I used the chalkboard paint last year and recoated a 2' x 3' chalkboard I have in my shop. It worked great, and still works great. I didn't know...or rather the store didn't have the magnetic paint in stock at the time or I would have use it prior to the chalkboard paint. Its nice to have a way to keep plans on the wall while working in the shop. The only issue I have is the ridiculous price for a 1 pint can, other than that it does work great. I've been tempted to put a board together and try the dry erase paint and see how well it works...and do the magnetic paint on it as well.

[@MercyCuenca]

HI, did you ever try it, can we see it???

[@AnnaM157]

Ohh, this is my first time seeing this video actually and I loovee the magnetic photos 😍

[@luciastan64]

You get a huge thumbs up from me! I have a door that I will be doing just what you did on the wall and you answered two of my questions with this video. I have a corkboard on there now but I would rather paint the door so that the whole thing is used for the next person as I will be putting the house up for sale in about two years. I’m starting to look around the house and seeing what would make things easier for the next person and entice them to buy and this will work really well in the kitchen. That way they can use the whole door to doodle or put notes on and even hang papers if they absolutely need to lol… So where did you get the small magnets? Those seem to work really well as do the pictures so I will have a display when the final walk-through happens so that the next people can see what they are able to do. Thanks again for putting this video out there!

[@juliamandeville7503]

I did something similar 8 years ago (summer 2010) using the magnetic paint and then the whiteboard paint -- the only 2 things I would have done differently is a) shake, not stir, the first can of magnetic paint so it coated more evenly and b) took more time and sanded more carefully between coats as the whiteboard surface is pockmarked is spots and not as smooth as I would have liked -- we use it all the time as both as a whiteboard and for hanging items with magnets - yes we have to adjust which magnets we use and just how many, but it has been so helpful over the last 8 years

[@MercyCuenca]

Hi, would love to see a picture of it in action!

[@conniethompson6914]

I work in a craft/fabric chain store and recently have had several customers asking for "magnetic chalk paint". Today I decided to do some research.. Your videos confirmed what I read in all the other tutorials. Thank you for the demo of various magnets. This clarified things greatly.

[@brianmiller921]

Thank you +Superholly. You just saved me some money and a lot of frustration. I have a few hundred magnets I have collected from all over the world that I wanted to put up on a wall in my office. I was hoping this would work as it seemed like an easier solution than my original idea. I am going to tack up a 48"x120" piece of 1/32" steel sheetmetal and then make a frame around it.

[@tawnygreene6230]

Where did you get a extra large piece of sheet metal? I can't find one anywhere.

[@MercyCuenca]

YES, I COLLECT MAGNETS & POSTCARDS ON MY TRAVELS!

[@rmhutchins7]

I enjoyed your video. It was very helpful. Thank you!

[@xochitlruizg.3330]

En serio? Wow que honor me encantó igual entiendo pero me gusta mas en español no hay como estar en conexión ♡ gracias Holly

[@jessietang2012]

May I know how many layers of the primer you put on? 2 or 1? Thanks!

[@rlfrohs]

I am thinking on doing this for my classroom. It would be cool for my students to have pics of themselves held on with magnets to hang there. Then have the freedom to write inspires ideas. Thanks for doing this. It's going to be my summer project. The classroom looks so,bad now. Will also,be painting lockers.

[@MargRehnbergBlox]

...a wonderful idea...and here's someone who does it in classrooms: www.bloxshop.com/schools.html

[@StillDollSyndrome]

This is exactly what I needed to know thank youuu!

[@amandabear6605]

Amen! Perfect vid, thanks!

[@ad1kurniawan]

nice job holly. i just about watch ur chalkboard vid before. 👍👍👍👍

[@justrandom7214]

Make it yourself. Yust mix 500um iron powder 1:1 (weight) to primer paint. Just don`t let it stand around and mix it very well... Much cheaper than premixed stuff.

[@PirateJohnson]

+andi sixtimesseven I like how people think the paint itself IS magnetic... Where can I get iron powder, though?

[@DANHOGZ]

Another cheaper option: "Chalknetic Chalkboard Paper" on Amazon. They also give you strong push pin magnets in the package.

[@jaydapinkney7225]

Wonder if you put more cotes of it on would it be stronger...?

[@Fernball21]

Super helpful video!

[@gloriaperez8272]

ups!!! y en dnd puedo conseguir los magnetis chiquititos...

[@MindyKoenig-pu4vl]

How did you get the wall with no seams? Did you paint over the drywall? I was planning on using plywood but would have at least 2 seams trying to figure out how to mitigate that

[@brittanyanderson6858]

wow love it !!!

[@charissathurston354]

How did you get it smooth? Is there a trick?

[@MsAnderson-]

How many coats did you apply though?

[@augustussutton2379]

Little kids would love this, I watched this wondering if kids magnet stickers would work so thank you.

[@Liizbeth]

Amazing!!

[@michaelbates8410]

Thank you superholly

[@cdrama-central]

Lady, your video is real gem.

[@MercyCuenca]

Hi, I'm hoping to get the name of ghe company that you ordered the magnetic pictures from. TY!

[@HikerBiker]

Not impressed until you got to the magnetic pictures you had made, then cool. But, how much did the pics cost and where did you have them made? I'm in the process of building my own RV and have wondered what I could do with my pictures I have when I move into it, this would be a great way, paint the cupboards and hang the pics, rotate as needed.

[@crestahill8782]

Did you know this paint contains lead? I purchased a can of this paint but didn’t use it immediately. When I was ready to make a magnetic chalk board for my daughter’s bedroom I read the full instructions and realized I needed a second can. I went to Lowes to purchase an additional can and was told it was no longer sold because of the lead content. I checked the manufacture website which did not list lead anywhere. However, when I downloaded the technical data sheet it contained a warning to wear a respirator if you sand this paint to prevent lead exposure. I decided to return the can I purchased. I’m not comfortable putting lead paint in my home. You should add a warning to your video for other parents interested in using this paint since the manufacture buries the lead danger in a technical data sheet that most people never see.

[@jilliannitz1884]

They make lead free ones. The first one I looked up specified lead free.

[@idea999]

There’s millions of homes with lead paint from the 70s and it’s not an issue. Its only bad if your kid tries to eat it.

[@ABadHairDay]

You’ll be fine. Just don’t eat the paint

[@AhmedAdel-tn2pv]

i love it , impressive

[@AGloriousDawnLP]

Really nice. :)

[@dtw777]

I am planning on making a chalkboard door.Considering the door will be a much smaller surface area than a wall, I'm hoping the x number of coats I'd apply of the magnetic paint will be sufficient to hold up a little basket to hold chalk.

[@bonnied3550]

I have painted my kitchen door(leaving a border) with one coat of the Rust-Oleum magnetic primer that says it is 3x stronger but I cannot ateast to that, as like the gal demonstrated in the video my magnets have done the same😬. I have been successful in using a flat magnet with one sheet of paper 8-1/2by11 size-:). I am wondering when I applying the chalkboard paint if it will have the same holding effect?? I plan to put another coat or so and re-test before putting the chalkboard paint over top. It will be disappointing if it does not hold magnets with papers etc. I would live to hear how it goes with your project if you would not mind sharing. Thank you in advance. Does anyone know can we add something to the primer to help the holding effect?? Thanks in advance😃

[@ladyturantulo]

Ah dang. I have an idea to put it on a poster board and then cover it with wall paper so I could make book case shelf with actual books. But I wanted the wall to have a temp magnet to I could stick things like keys and a book shelf made of books on it. Plus I could alter frequently

[@MaddySantamaria]

Oh my god!!!! I love this!!! New subscriber!

[@superholly]

+Maddy Santamaria Glad to hear it! Thanks for subscribing :) xo

[@itss_nattyj]

@Superholly Happy New Year! I enjoyed this video and appreciate you showing the magnet test. Can you share the type and from where you found the tiny magnets since they were the best magnets? Thank you in advance. (I apologize if you've already answered this question).

[@superholly]

+Natalie J Walker Hey Natalie!!! I am pretty sure I got them at the container store a few years ago... not sure if they'd still have them. But if you search strong magnets on amazon I'm sure you will find something good! 😊

[@superholly]

+Natalie J Walker also, thanks for watching, and Happy New Year!!! 🎈

[@rizwanholo1]

What kind of brush or roller did you used for magnetic paint and chalkboard? I am doing the same project...

[@tawnygreene6230]

Did you complete this? How many coats did you do? Did the magnetic paint make the wall to bumpy for chalk paint?

[@thegogglehero3629]

Does it come in clear?

[@jekaperales4751]

Do you think if you put more magnetic paint coats it would stick better?

[@superholly]

+jeka Perales possibly. At the end of the day it's just metal flecks in the paint, and as we all know magnets are attracted to metal 😉

[@l.ostrovsky7316]

subscribed!! love this!

[@superholly]

Thanks, Jenna! Say hi to Channing! haha

[@l.ostrovsky7316]

lol of course!

[@jazzepink]

what size are the magnetic photos?

[@superholly]

1.25 inches

[@xochitlruizg.3330]

me encantoooooooo

[@heidiwilhelm3068]

@superholly - I'm interested in using this to cover the kitchen back splash and hanging baby food jars containing spices. Thoughts?

[@jcgmaudlin]

From what I've seen, I'm not sure if it would be strong enough. A quick google shows that metal back splash tiles exist, so personally, I would recommend taking a jar in with a magnet and testing some of the tiles in store. I think you would get much better usage out of that, rather than the numerous paint coats needed to get any decent iron shaving concentrations on the wall. There are numerous online sources for changing tiling and back splashes on youtube if the labor has you leaning away from tiling a wall. (HGTV has a blog post called "Magnetic Backsplash Ideas that I looked at to reply to you) Would love to know what you go with!

[@bonnied3550]

Heidi Wilhelm IKEA and or the Container Store have a lot of great solutions for magnetic storage, not sure if you have heard of these stores. I have painted my kitchen door with one coat of the Rust-Oleum magnetic primer that sáis it is 3x stronger but I cannot ateast to that, as like the gal demonstrated in the video my magnets have done the same😬. I plan to put another coat or so and re-test before putting the chalkboard paint over top. It will be disappointing if it does not hold magnets with papers etc. Does anyone know can we add something to the primer to help the holding effect?? Thanks in advance😃

[@Kedda486]

I love pictures ❤ I want to do that with my pictures

[@mariaguerrero2204]

Where did you order your magnetic photos from!!?😩

[@JamesDPowellDDSPCPalmdale]

She said that she got them from sticky9.com. 👍

[@nenacalista1937]

wow

[@jd4evapodcast86]

... why not put another layer on?

[@nenacalista1937]

hola

[@acelia_]

Where did you get the tiny super strong ones?

[@superholly]

+Acelia Castaneda gosh, I can't remember, I think it may have been the container store or something...

[@thefrozenflames]

Those strong ones are called neodymium magnets. You can find them online and you can even order in different shapes and sizes. They can be really strong!

[@gloriaperez8272]

por favor ..en español...te lo agradeceria mucho...en eso ando pintando una pared para mi niña

[@superholly]

+gloria perez kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHirfGV-ZcyafZI :D

[@apollonmagg4603]

Maybe If you had painted the Surface more times , then then heavy magnets would stick ....

[@Bultizar]

Either that was low quality magnetic paint, or you did not apply enough layers (minimum 3). Did this in my living room 3 years ago to have a expedition wall. It can hold any fridge magnet I ever tried. I even use it to hold some Displate magnetic back metal posters (very heavy).

[@jefferyeliason5370]

You need to use Polymagnet @ which are crazy strong at @t

[@doncoleman1841]

MAGNETS are not all created equal. And if you are making a chalk board, you could just use a piece of sheetmetal. You can frame the chalk board with anything from the craft store using hot glue or something like E6000 glue. There is magnetic was paint that you actually can use to hang a collage of portraits and paintings. Arrange and rearrange at your hearts desire.

[@doncoleman1841]

was = wall

[@kirthankaur8471]

Please can you tell me the best way to attach the sheet metal to the mirror?

[@revdcdon970]

Don't use any magnets to hang a mirror. Call a local glass shop and ask them the safest way to hang it.

[@DANHOGZ]

Yes, the strongest magnetic capability is to paint on metal sheet. Well, if you're not asking that strong power, then "Chalknetic Chalkboard Paper" might be another option. Available on Amazon now.

[@tawnygreene6230]

Where can you buy a huge piece of sheet metal? Biggest I can find is 24x36.

[@happycloudmemes1554]

success story!!!!

[@loiclaynell]

helpfull

[@bloodstream2733]

Any idea on how long will it stay magnetic?

[@superholly]

+Folklore Pretty sure it's forever. :D

[@PirateJohnson]

+Folklore Probably until the metal flake in the paint turns to rust...

[@KongofPip]

+Folklore If you put two coats on, it stays magnetic for ever and ever.

[@xochitlruizg.3330]

awww las muñequitas mexicanas

[@jimbob036]

Maybe if you used more than one coat?

[@idisintegrate5122]

it's supposed to be applied to 16 sq feet, maybe that's why the magnets don't stick well

[@craftsNstuffBamma]

I've watched other magnetic chalkboard paint videos and they use 6 coats of magnetic paint before paint with chalkboard. Then all but the long tape like ones worked fantastic. Her tip was to cut the tape strip magnets in to smaller pieces and then they worked. You can also display school papers on those with multiple coats of the magnetic before chalkboard.

[@marisagabrielle8]

How many coats were on this wall?

[@jerometruitt2731]

So the neodymium magnets will work. Also if you only used one can thats your problem. Most other brands call for 3-6 coats.

[@nickgeo2134]

What about something like the the colorful alphabet letters for kids? I'm building a playroom for my kids and they have a million of those magnetic letters and numbers...

[@superholly]

Those would probably work just fine, just make sure to do as many coats of the paint as you can. And sidenote, they probably won't hold up papers or anything like that.

[@nickgeo2134]

+superholly ok will do. Thanks for the reply

[@DANHOGZ]

There is a better solution now, search the brand "Chalknetic" on Amazon, then you will see.

[@limitlessenergy369]

Love how you made a pyramid. #limitlessenergy369 approved If you want to make your own magnetic or faraday cage paint I can help.

[@mikegarrens5286]

They should have magnetic walls so you can put magnets on the back of your pictures and not tear your walls apart with holes.

[@lyrakae]

Oh shit i writted this in my story and deleted it thinking it didnt exist i gess i have to writte it again lol.

[@lyrakae]

Oh Also in my story too they where some chalkboard paint well fuck i really need to writte that's shit in even more.

[@wcc101662]

Why are you using a magnet to test a magnet? Seems like you should test metal to see if it sticks.🤔

[@stopidhoodleum3232]

Im inventing something. Ok.

[@tassie7325]

Possibly false advertising as the paint is not magnetic. If it were, metal objects would stick to it without the need for magnets.

[@DANHOGZ]

More precisely speaking, it's "Metallic Primer"

[@xochitlruizg.3330]

Hello Holly in spanish please hahaha

[@superholly]

+Xochitl Ruiz Awwwwwww ok Xolecita! En eso ando... Pero tomé tu consejo de no hacerlo sin voz... ;)
