What material sticks to magnets?

Metals that attract to magnets
Metals that naturally attract to magnets are known as ferromagnetic metals; these magnets will firmly stick to these metals. For example, iron, cobalt, steel, nickel, manganese, gadolinium, and lodestone are all ferromagnetic metals.
What will stick to fiberglass?
What is the best adhesive to bond fiberglass?
- Cyanoacrylate – also known as instant adhesives, super glue, crazy glue, ca glue, etc.
- Two component epoxies – Permabond two part epoxies cure at room temperature and provide strong bonds to fiberglass.
Do magnets stick to cars?

The best answer is to say that aluminium is not magnetic under normal circumstances. This is because aluminium interacts with magnets. Also, when exposed to strong magnetic fields, aluminium can be slightly magnetic even though it does not exhibit magnetism under normal circumstances.
Can I fiberglass plastic?
Bond fiberglass to plastic with the help of a vice clamp. Fiberglass and plastic are two commonly used building materials in commercial and industrial trades.Bonding these two materials requires a high-strength plastic epoxy which is available at any hardware store.
