Best way to glue a magnetic strip?

Can you not just tape it into place?
Sticky tape.
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?
  
  This is a non-recharghable magnet paper card from the Bucharest Metro Its just curiosity, I took the strip from a good card, sticked it to aother good one but it wasnt strong enough. Thinking about trying it again when im in Bucharest 1 month later
  
  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.
