Magnet alternative?

[SignDesignLady]

I bought some iDot a couple years ago from Gans Digital but it appears they have gone out of business. Does anyone know of a similar product that can be used in place of magnets for aluminum body vehicles? I have customers that like the removable/reusable aspect of iDot but don't know what else might be out there.

Try Spider-Mat manufactured by New Life magnetic. I know Piedmont plastics is a distributor.

Itac Green from Continental is really cool. It is a 'gel' coating instead of adhesive and it 'sticks' to smooth surfaces like metal, glass, and finished hardwood floors. The 'gel' can be washed if it gets dirty.

I don't know what IDot is but I'm guessing it is a dot-based adhesive product....Spot On from Drytac is one of those and it is great. On a vehicle I wouldn't count on it lasting for too long because water can get in between the dots...and with a car going 70mph that may be a bit too much to ask.

Glass Apeel from Grimco. Goes on like a stiff decal, doesnt blow off or wash off. Can be peeled off, thrown in the back seat, and put back on later. It works with some weird micro-suction cup technology.

Glass Appeal, it sticks really well to vehicle paint, doesn't use adhesive and very thin. https://www.glassapeel.net/the-product/

If you or your customers still have their magnetic signs they can simply keep using it with Gripper Mats by Proper Design. These have been around for years now. https://properdesign.uk/products/gripper-mats-magnetic-sign-grippers-for-aluminium-vehicles

Glass Appeal works well. https://www.glassapeel.net/the-product/
We put this on vans for a company that got tired of the cost of magnetic. They kept losing them.
