If you lift a corner you can feel the seal break. Button magnets wouldn't give you that effect, I don't think.<br /><br />Whatever, I didn't think the mag sheets would handle heavy pieces, but in fact I have to be careful not to damage castings while heaving them off the box floor!<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />TonyMSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-46351396863275243752011-11-07T03:34:25.362+00:002011-11-07T03:34:25.362+00:00I use fridge magnets on the bases of my figures an...I use fridge magnets on the bases of my figures and transport them in a tool-box. That's fine for the majority of my figures as they are plastic, but the metal figures don't always finish the trip in the position they started, as their weight often breaks the magnets' grip.Ben Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548280904041987733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-4736474116305090402011-11-07T00:41:08.758+00:002011-11-07T00:41:08.758+00:00Steady on old spoon, you'll be watching X fact...Steady on old spoon, you'll be watching X factor and beating your children next.Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-31159387872499049672011-11-06T14:30:26.888+00:002011-11-06T14:30:26.888+00:00Well, not quite everyone.
