This thread is for simple magnet tricks -
how to make them work n any different situation.

I wanted to share this trick:
Aluminum foil.

1 glue your magnet into your first location,
2 then when dry put a piece of aluminum foil over the area.
3 apply the other magnet.
4 add glue to the back of this magnet,
5 and a small amount to the back of your weapon/option,
6 and hold together until dry.
7 let sit until hard and strong.
8 pull on aluminum foil to remove weapon/option.
9 clean and done right every time.

Just want to add that if you’re doing arms on multiple models and want the same polarity, use a pen and mark one side of the magnets before you start gluing. And also having a piece of metal plate so your small magnets don’t roll away.

The pen is unnecessry if you use the aluminum and glue in place

Another technique to magnetize base, weapon, arms and other parts, so that the pole is always the same and even all arms can be used for all figures...
