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.

Good, that will give me something to do once it is approved.  I hope to 
have 1 or 2 more out this weekend myself.
