Magnetic Paint WOW

[@OSUJedi2022]

I used this under some blackboard paint to make a message center on the inside of my front door. I could use the magnets to hang notes or bills that needed attention, and use chalk to right messages to other family members. I used construction Adhesive, to put up wood strips to frame it. One of my best ideas.

[@alimfuzzy]

I kept trying to get my work to do that instead of sticky notes on the wall that continually fall off.... but they kept saying it's a stupid idea... some people just can't see the good ideas.

[@gslavik]

Neat!

[@seejanedrill]

Great idea

[@codycharles7147]

O-H-

[@bigred4379]

And as someone else said: what a great way to find your keys! put a magnet on the key holder stick em to the door.. no more rifling through purses - MAYBE. LOL!

Leah has wonderful tips that I've learned a lot from. I love the way she's so patiently and clearly explains things.

Leah is such a great host; she should be on TV!!

[@rickr530]

again

[@caramelzappa]

I have a map hanging up on the wall that had a different approach to be magnetically hung. The rare earth magnets attatched to the wall with anchors, and frame backer is made of metal. It made it really easy to hang and adjust, and I'd trust it through an earthquake honestly.

[@OSUJedi2022]

Nice!

[@torporvasflam8670]

Oh, that'd be a great product for my nephews room. Thanks, Leah. You're a national treasure.

I love your channel! I have learned so much from watching your videos, and saved a lot of money doing my own home repairs and improvements. Thank you!

[@gslavik]

Depending on the price, might be a good alternative to having to find a metal sheet when making some sort of a magnetic board for a desk.

[@nyer070]

I was just telling this to my wife. How is Leah such an incredibly amazing instructor and why can't others be just as clear and as knowledgeable as her? Leah is hands down the BEST instructor I've ever seen on building materials. Leah, please consider writing books about this!!! Seriously (my apologies for getting the name wrong first)

[@TheJackOfFools]

I did half a wall with this then blackboard paint on my kid's wall, and that was great. Except there was so many more layers than normal that you can see the difference with the naked eye, its crazy. But still it works good for my kid's wall at least. I'll also note that it was very difficult to get it to lay totally flat and even. There were a lot of small dips and rises. Nothing too big, but noticeable vs. regular paints/primers.

[@seejanedrill]

The paint is very thick....I noticed the same.

[@onlythetruth883]

Be very very careful with small magnets around children. They have been known to swallow them with disastrous results. The magnets hold the bowels together with disastrous, necrotic results and even the surgery required is made very difficult and tedious.

[@TheJackOfFools]

@@onlythetruth883 Thanks for the tip. My kid is 5, and not eating everything but definitely worth considering.

[@manla8397]

Very clever. I recently bought some magnetite, Fe3O4 powder for making ferrofluid for my students. Never thought about how to use these powder in other applications. Definitely will show this to my physics students. Thank you. But I guess it may pose a long term issue for cleaning when used in household. When a magnet broken/shattered into small pieces that inevitably happens, it will be quite difficult to remove especially neodymium magnets are very brittle and the broken pieces are sharp. The top coat paint must be somewhat needed to glossy and super smooth.

[@manla8397]

@J L good idea. jL. But I bit worry that will also damage the top paint . Worth to try.

[@roffie]

Could damage the magnets with a heat gun maybe? They lose magnetism at 80 degrees C. Unsure if the heat gun damages the wall though.

[@honeybadgerisme]

good to know!

[@danielsmith2447]

I have lovedLeah since the first video I saw of her years ago.

[@alexhb12333]

This is the coolest thing ever, Leah! Going to do an accent wall in this.

[@karen4you]

Really cool product. Years ago there was a home manufacturer that made steel houses that had metal interior walls so could put magnets anywhere. I'd love a steel house! It didn't really catch on though.

[@fr3dfixit945]

I'm a huge fan of magnets--physics be damned, they're magical! A steel house would be lightning-proof, but also cell-service blocking. I once had an idea of repurposing a water tower into a house. They might be wind-proof (they seem to always remain standing after bad storms), but would have the same cell signal problem. On the other hand, the view would be spectacular.

[@karen4you]

@@fr3dfixit945 Still might be a way to make a signal booster to get reception inside? Or by a window? I like your idea. It could be next to a small house and be a storm shelter and massive bedroom?

[@DennisMoore664]

I'm always attracted to videos and such about magnets.

[@AnnLippert1]

I always thumbs up on See Jane Drill vid’s even before I watch it bcuz her video’s are ALWAYS GREAT!!!!

[@kahinoart]

❤ Again a great video. You are a gifted teacher. I built a hanging storage board and treated with magnetic and chalkboard paint two years ago. It is true that such paint is better for lighter things. For a large poster, you need multiple magnets, for example. Otherwise, if there is a cross breeze, the things will fly off, even with the special magnets. The 🧲 magnetic paint can interfere with wifi signals. This is important to know in case your have poor wifi reception. In that case, making a smaller project or limiting the area you paint would be better than painting a whole wall with magnetic paint. Thanks for this video.

[@grogers8925]

Never knew their was such a thing,great video Ms Leah!! 👍👍👍

[@kishormistry2581]

Hi, I watch all your videos and learned a lot from it! I am not handyman and don’t know much about maintenance of house keeping! I want paint my interior walls,ceilings as well as outside house but do have knowledge of what kind of paint to use for that project! I know I need wipeable walls and little shine would not hurt as well as durable and good finish and affordable! Deeply appreciated if you make videos on it! Thank you .TIA

[@GoodlyEarth]

Leah, you had me at "Magnetic..." I had no idea a product as this existed. I feel like I could play the ultimate prank on my family. After painting the wall, I could cover myself in magnets and jump on the wall and stick to it. Oh, the possibilities are endless!!!

[@CrankyPantss]

I’ve wondered how well that paint worked. Thanks for sharing this with us, Leah.

[@archivist17]

[@johncronin7843]

You could inlay the neodymium magnets in the drywall. Just peel back the paper. Iron nickel cobalt.

Hmmmm

[@paulsmith9341]

Hi, Leah! Is it magnetic like does it attract paper clips and washers that are not magnetic or does it only work for magnets like you demonstrated in the video

[@seejanedrill]

It is as I demonstrated

[@OSUJedi2022]

It only works with magnet. The name is a little misleading.

[@daveposh2914]

@@OSUJedi2022 You are right. It should be called metalic paint, not magnetic paint. Otherwise paper clips would stick to it.

[@MarcAOuellette]

Love your videos. I think if you coated the magnet with a hot glue or a rubber paint they won’t slide down the wall

[@b_uppy]

Somebody else used it and they said it didn't work. I think they failed to mix it well right before use

[@seejanedrill]

Perhaps

[@dplj4428]

I wondered if the latex paint reduced the effectiveness. The thicker the item you put under the magnet, the lesser the hold will be. Just like the further away a magnet is from a surface, the less magnetic attraction?

[@jameslawlor1404]

Wonder if this would have EMF protection properties

[@farida7777777]

Thanks Leah.

[@dplj4428]

Also is the paint magnetic or instead containing metal particles that magnets will hold to it?

[@kingbeauregard]

Hey, you know everything, so here's a question: heat-reflective paint. like Cool Coat thermal barrier. Does it work? I'm considering painting an interior chamber of my house with heat-reflective paint, so that, if the heat ever goes out, I'll have a place to go and hopefully keep warm. I'm also contemplating heat-reflective survival tarps, but if the paint works well, I can ditch the tarps. Maybe? What would you recommend?

[@seejanedrill]

Youre very generous....I don't know everything. As for heat reflective paint it has it's merits however manufacturers play a role in the price and product effectiveness.

Its so heavy because it contains iron filings

Yes

This is pretty interesting. I just have whispers in my brain from physics classes past, but I would wonder about how this causes/interferes with electromagnetic fields if spread over a large surface. Health-wise, should giant magnetic surfaces be in my kid's bedroom?
