apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Be very, very careful with these. I read a news story last fall about a young child who swallowed some of these (they fell out of a toy) and died after they pinched off part of his intestine.

These are kind of dangerous.. I worked with them on an engineering undergrad project. Take caution with these. They can fly across the room and hurt someone, or shatter and send fragments EVERYWHERE..

I use them to hang plants off my steel window frames!

and keys from the front door. Ideas all inspired by AT's last post about them.

Wow, their power scares me.

WOW! this "magnetic" convesation pulled in quie a few Magnetic paint makers! Really, I had no idea this was such a thing! Sheesh!

Use a woodden board for this. I don't think landlords will consider a Magic wall of magnetic wonderfulness an upgrade. I don't care how cool it looks.

p.s. don't put them on your body, especially your weiner.

Actually, magnetic paint is a primer that gets normal paint over it (at least, the original Magnamagic is), so "how cool it looks" is irrelevant. There's nothing to see.

Some magnetic paints are *also* chalkboard paints, but that's just one variety. You can go magnetic without going chalkboard.
