Hi there,

Just wonder if there's a place in Toronto that sells this <a href="http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/magnetic-photo-rope">magnetic photo rope</a>? Thanks.

Home Depot, Lowes or Rona.

Look in t hardware dept for plastic coated aviation cable. You can get it in any length together with mounting accessories.

Order the magnets from Deal Extreme.

Hi Sue!
I actually ordered one from photojojo a while ago (in black) and never ended up using it - still brand new (I am too lazy to print my photos lol). PM me if you are interested in taking it off my hands.

If get the stuff from Ziggy and the plastic coated wire as well and need more magnets I believe Lee Valley sells small strong magnets.

Thanks a lot, everyone. I'm gonna run over to Pikto and see if I can find some. If not, I'm going to buy the materials and make some myself and then give some away to the lucky ones at our next Canon/Minolta/Sony & Whatever social :lol:

Lee Valley sells a good assortment of "Rare Earth Magnets"... don't get much stronger than that... many sizes available.

With R.E.Magnets, you can pretty much use any nylon coated wire and use cute and fancy wire crimps as marketed to scrapbook people. Nylon coated wire is commonly used for framing. (cheap and different thickness)
