Hello everyone.

Shortly after we bought our 3 year old Swift Lifestyle 630L we noticed that one of the hob cover magnets was missing as the cover made a racket when we were travelling. We went back to the dealer who said that it wasn't something they could help with. (This seemed a little mean considering it was a small problem and we had spent a great deal of money with them.) However I found some magnets of the right shape and size online and purchased them. My husband stuck one on with super glue but after a few weeks it has come off again because the magnet is too strong I guess. Does anyone have any advice? Should I look for weaker magnets (does such a thing even exist)? Or stronger glue perhaps - is there anything stronger than super glue?

Thanks in anticipation.

Two part Araldite has been used by myself to stick an adjustable rear view mirror on my car screen -it did a great job - but I wouldn't like to get it off again! Wink

Hi.

Thoroughly clean the area where the magnets are going to be fixed, then try "Araldite Rapid"..

I had a similar problem with my hob glass but in my case the dealer (Marquis, Northampton) provided me with a replacement and advised using double sided tape to stick it to the glass. This worked well.

Does it have to be magnets? maybe rubber bump stops would work more efficiently.

Maybe you could try reducing the attraction strength of the magnet by putting a piece (or Two) of electrical tape on it.

According to a colleague who used to work for the company making Loctite, Superglue ain't as 'super' as it used to be - they've had to weaken the formula for the version available to Joe Public. Also it's a generic adhesive - Loctite manufactures a huge range of industrial adhesives with different formulae to suit different applications/materials:

So you can probably buy a better solution.
