I have some laminated cards that I need to attach magnets to them. I tried hot glue, but they are peeling off. I’ve tried double stick tape it’s not holding. Any Ideas?
Use a two part epoxy. How fast of an epoxy you use depends on how many you have to do. There are ones that set in 5 minutes and some that take about an hour (full cure time overnight). If you have a lot of them to do choose a slow setting epoxy so you have time to work with it before it dries hard. You can get these at any home improvement store. Don’t bother with any other kind of glue except maybe a flexible silicone meant for craft purposes (comes in a caulk tube at home improvement stores). Make sure that when you glue it you have as much contact surface as possible.
I’m assuming that you need to pull these cards on and off a metal surface repeatedly or you would just use tape. Pretty much any other kind of glue will not stand up to the repeated flexing of the laminate surface.
Good Luck! References :

super glue, hot glue gun, or go to michaels and buy the magnet strip which has a sticky side

Try a stronger glue like Super Glue, Gorilla Glue, or Tacky Glue.

Or…try a spray glue adhesive.
