Okay, so I’ve been messing around with these thin magnets, and let me tell you, it’s been quite a ride. I got this idea in my head that I could use them to make my life a bit more organized, you know? So, I ordered a bunch of these little disc magnets, about 18mm x 2mm, I think. The plan was to use them around the house for all sorts of things.
First thing I tried was using them to find metal studs in my walls. I figured, why not, right? It actually worked pretty well. I just slid a magnet along the wall, and when it stuck, I knew there was a stud there. Marked the spots with some washi tape and sticky notes, felt like a real pro. It was way easier than using one of those stud finder gadgets.
Then, I got this wild idea to make a magnetized sponge. I have these narrow dishes that are a pain to clean. I thought, what if I could stick a magnet inside a sponge, and then use another magnet on the outside to move it around? I tried it, and honestly, it was kinda cool. I mean, it wasn’t perfect, but it definitely helped get into those hard-to-reach spots.
I also used them to stick some notes and stuff on my fridge. That’s pretty basic, I know, but it’s super handy. I even tried sticking some flathead pin magnets to some Sharpies to keep them on the fridge. It’s the little things, you know?
Here’s a list of things I did:
- Found metal studs: Slid the magnets on the wall, marked the spots with tape and sticky notes.
- Made a magnetic sponge: Stuck a magnet inside a sponge to clean narrow dishes. Worked okay-ish!
- Organized my fridge: Used them to stick notes and even pens on the fridge, super useful!
But then, things got a bit tricky. I read somewhere that you can paint over magnets to hide them. Sounds cool in theory, but I haven’t tried that yet. I also learned that when you’re not using these magnets, you gotta store them properly, so they don’t lose their magnetism or whatever. I just keep them stuck to a metal surface for now.
I think magnets can be pretty cool if we use them in the right way. And there is no need to think about those complex magnetic field or MRI things, sometimes simple applications can help a lot in our daily life.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with thin magnets. It’s been fun, a bit messy, but definitely interesting. I’m still figuring out new ways to use them, so who knows what I’ll come up with next?
