Magnet on humidifier keeps falling off...

[BigStun]

I have a large humidor and it has two long humidifiers on the lid held on by two magnets, one on each side.

Well the last few times I've opened my humidor I have found one of the humidifiers laying on my cigars because the glue that originally held on the magnet to the humidifier has worn off.

Wanted to use a dab of gorilla glue but the thought of using anything with chemicals worries me. Any ideas on fixing this?

What I do right away, is that I never use what they give me for the credo or hygro.
After seasoning, I always use industrial strength velcro from costco. I buy the roll thats 15 feet by 2 inches. Thats basically two rolls, one of the smooth and one of the wooly side. It costs less then 30 bucks. Best investment youll ever make.

Every credo, hygro or whatever, stays just where should. No odor or chemicals. Wont dry out and push off, like the cheap velcro on some accessories sold.

Plus you can use a larger piece then they give you. Just apply to both surfaces and be patient if you can. Give it a day to cure, and you can hang several pounds from it , without falling off.

Photos supplied if wanted.

Heh, i was thinking just that the other day after i also thought better of using anything chemical (i was thinking gel krezyglue) but the industrial velcro sounds much better to stick the hygrometer up with.

Good idea on the velcro...ended up using electrical tape along the edge of the magnets...worked well and hardly noticable. Will pick up some velcro next time I'm out.

Make sure you get the industrial strenght and not some inferior velcro, you might be disappointed.
I think I said Costco, so please forgive me, I meant HOME DEPOT. Its in a rectangular box, blue and yellow with the yellow word velcro capitalized on it and a silver square that says INDUSTRial Strength.
So HOME DEPOT is where its at. I am sure its a lowes also, as this is a branded product by velcro.

You can pick up some cheap earth magnets on dealextreme.com, usually $1-$3 shipped. They come in varying sizes from quarter size to smaller than a dime. They're strong as hell.
