Rolan Kraps, SASS # 24084 Life Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 OK, so most people know that I'm into Steampunk. But I don't like poking holes in $100+ hats. So I hit on this idea. Buy Rare Earth magnets from eBay. I like the 1" or 25mm ones that are 2mm thick. I then attach one "item" (gauge, badges, etc) to the magnet using Gorilla glue. When dry, put another magnet on the inside of the hat, and you're done! Better yet, you can move them to other hats/jackets, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patagonia Pete Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Your going to have to be careful though ... when you walk through the parking lot. You could get stuck to someone's pickup truck and not be found until the match was over!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major BS Walker Regulator Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Wouldn't work for me. I have a steel plate in my head . Might have too much trouble getting the hat off altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
