I was just curious what size magnets you folks use for minis. I know 1/32" thick is good, but what about diameter?

i use 4mm

My magnetized fexes use 2mm disks

I'm about to do 2 magnetic fexes... is that 2mm diameter? or thickness?

Mine are 2mm diameter magnets, I think they are about 1.5mm deep. I think the best solution might be 3mm in the arm sockets and 2mm in the arms...

OK cool, I'm gonna be ordering some this weekend. I have 2 fexes to do, I want to magnetize the arms and the heads. so I can swap out tusks or enhanced senses or whatever else. I was also thinking about maybe doing the shells on the back too, so I could do plain or one of the other 2 kinds

wow! where do you find those tiny magnets!? I have only been able to find 1mmx6mm discs.

Got mine here, but they might not be much use to you...

Search this forum, there are a couple of other threads with US sources...

This is where I was going to order mine from, might work better for a US order..
