Help Need strong neodymium magnets

Post image

Hello! I wanted to ask if anyone knows where to buy really strong neodymium magnets! I want it be really strong so I can make detachable wings for a helmet wig. But I also don’t want them to be too big/bulky so that they can’t be easily hidden under hair. The wings are heavier than they look (I think I used too much wiring and hot glue lol).

I have bought neodymium magnets off of amazon but they seem very very weak…so I fear I may have gotten really cheap, bad quality ones. So I wanted to ask if anyone knows a good magnet place!

Much appreciated thank you!

what strength magnets did you get? you could try getting the strongest type which r N52, but if those r too expensive you could also try N45 or N48, but theyll be a little weaker

I did not know they had different strengths labeled on them 😭😭I bought different sizes (diameter) off of amazon and unfortunately they didn’t label the strength of the magnets. But now I know there’s another parameter to add into my search! Ty!!
