rockstarwiggle Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I have an eshopp frag rack that well of course sags. Does anyone know how I can keep it from drooping. I know that the eshopp magnets are worthless. Will a stronget magnet really hold it straight or will I need to wedge something underneath? Thanks. Not sure where to post this.

ckyuv Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 When I had an eshops frag rack I replaced the magnets with stronger ones and it worked for me, not sure how thick the glass was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstarwiggle Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 I bought some from home depot a while back but I guess they were not strong enough. Know where I can get super duper strong ones from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Google neodynium magnets. They are rare earth magnets and are crazy strong. Don't get too crazy with them... the force of them coming together can crack glass if you order too strong of magnets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The one's I ordered for my stand can hold 12 lbs/piece and about the size of a quarter. Let's just say I pinched my fingers really bad a couple of times working with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reburn Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Ty has pointed you in the right direction. For what is worth. I had an eshopp frag rack and hated it for the reasons you have said. I went to buying captain Saltys frag racks and have been very happy with them. They already come with the neodymium magnets already on them and encased in resin so they don't leach anything bad. You may want to think about them for your next frag rack purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yes, just the initial coming together. Once they are there, you shouldn't have to worry about it. Believe me, the pressure from the water is probably much greater than the magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
