I know that we touched this subject before but cannot remember anything conclusive ? looking for a source of supply for those tiny but powerful magnets,Maplins used to sell them 5 to a small card but for some odd reason dropped the line ? they have many uses but as yet I have not located a substitute for them.
They are so easy to use,just embed one into the area you want,capillery some cyno around the outside,then snap the other one on top and press the halves together to locate the position,bore out another small hole,drop in the magnet,ditto...
These magnets have a special name but I just cannot remember what it is ?
