RE: Magnetic Basing material/steel paper

A local manufacturer now has punched steel disks in a variety of sizes
from 20mm to 3".  They are more expensive than washers (approximately
$0.20 each) but they are thinner than most washers for the same
diameter.  He is also considering punched metal hexes in a variety of
sizes.	If you are interested I can get you his contact information.

Magnetic sheet is available at most sign places - I don't know if all
places carry the self-adhesive type, but it's not difficult to glue down
large sections using 3M spray adhesive.

I'd first suggest you consider reversing that: steel washers and
plastic,
adhesive magnetic sheets.

I'm pretty certain that there is a supplier of both named Renaissance
Ink,
but I haven't had contact for years. You know I'll be googleing...

Definitely no suggestion as best/cheapest, just the one off the top of
my
head.
