    If I had the misfortune to be required to attempt this for some reason, I would use CA glue and a very steady hand, as well as an edge to smooth the strip once applied.

    Why are you putting a magnet in a card. Won’t that mess up the data stored on the card while being read by the magswipe machine

      The magnetic strip is what holds the info on the card. 🤦‍♂️

      OP: Is there any reason you can’t just get a new one issued?

              What are you curious about specifically? The type of glue they used? If transplanting the strip will make it unswipeable?

                  Of course you can, you’re only striping one at a time. You could put as many as the physical card can hold.

                  Best way is to apply glue the back using a regular glue stick. Put it in a book for a day till it dries. Then you’ll need to laminate the card with a non glossy coating to protect it.

            @sarsaparilyptus We’ve got guards on pretty much all the entrances, so the likeliness of you getting caught is pretty big (not guards as in Half Life, with guns or stuff like that, usually it’s just some old guy watching people there, but still).

        My assumption is they were putting a second seperateagnet on the card to stick it to a fridge or some other metal thing…hence my comment🤦‍♂️

    Clear sticky tape does the trick.
