Yeah, I sort of think the same thing.  I am going to experiment a little 
with surface prep a little, but I suspect that I will end up going down the 
path of using the magnetic tape.  It is sort of a shame since I have a 
bunch of the rare earth magnets.  So far, it seems that the magnet on 
Cinnamon Stick is still holding.

have 1 or 2 more out this weekend myself.
