what glue to install magnetized sheet to drywall

[bigben]

I would like to have some suggestions of what kind of glue I could use to stick magnetized sheet to drywall. I'm making my own version of the waltakers mag-riteII . I'm quoting for over 10k square feet to install in a large office. I want something reliable for this application.

Thanks for your help.

what material are you using for the sheets, how thick? how high? how wide? does it have to be glue as you could do a lot of other mounting methods that might hold this up better like z-clips. you also could screw into the wall and cover the screw heads or mount a frame over the screws

The material I will use is around 26mil thick (exactly as the specs of the walltalkers). I normally use screws, but some of them will have holes to go over electric outlets. I'm open to suggestions, But I think screws won't do the thing since it's a flexible media. The material is the same thing as car magnets sheets, it's just magnet receptive. Then I will laminate it with a dry erase film.

no idea how to glue something like that to a wall. maybe better to mount it to something and then mount that to the wall. another idea would be to laminate baked steel sheets

check the link bellow. I have the same product and they use glue to stick it to the wall: http://www.walltalkers.com/products/mag-rite-ii.asp

I want to find out what kind of glue they use.

use liquid nails and be done with it. That stuff will make anything stick. Of course it's never ever coming off either though. Unless you rip the entire wall out. Which from what your describing will probably happen either way.

My only concern would be making sure the drywall your sticking too is framed to hold the weight and is heavy enough in and of itself. I know my office they used some very thin drywall with metal framing and even hanging a clock on the wall with that stuff is a risky endeavor.

If I understand correctly you want a magnetic sheet to adhere to the wall, therefore you need to make the wall magnet receptive. You should use multiple thin, smooth coats of this, stirring constantly while applying:

that sounds like a better idea. if not, try some glues on your shop wall to see what holds. Goop glue makes several types that might work
