Title: Magnet size?
Post by: Nastyogre on 27 July 2023, 11:20:37

Looking to magnetize some arms and perhaps torsos. I'm not sure what size to get. If anyone has done this, what size have you used?

Thank you!

I can let you know when I get home from work.   Generally I use 2-3mm for arms.  Have to measure for waists.

Sorry, got side tracked.  But here you go.  The 3.2 x 1.6mm one is my main workhorse magnet for most arms and smaller waists.  The 2mm ones I use for smaller arms and vehicle turrets.  I have 5mm for waists and tank turrets also
