Hi there,
I was in a craft store and found a product called magnetic paint. I'm not sure what regular uses it has, but it had me thinking about magnitizing things not normally thought of as magnetic. I know it is probably not strong, but I wonder if anyone has heard of this being used for anything in the magic proffesion? Pete |

Sorry, not heard of it.
My mind's busy with applications. Do you have a brand name as I've seen nothing in the UK (not that I was conciously looking) Cheers,

Krylon makes Magnetic spray paint:
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......;forum=3 Apparently not all these paints are actually magnetic, but provide enough metallic contents for magnets to cling to: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......;forum=2 As for applications, I don't have any ideas... Michael |

That was the brand I saw. Thanks also for the message board link. I am surprised more people have not played with this. I'll post back if I have any ideas.

It's a paint infussed with iron filings. The stuff I've seen has to be put on rather thickly and the end result is really gloppy looking.

If the paint doesn't look good then I'm thinking along the lines of using it to fill objects. Maybe this would get it into places where standard shimmimg material would be hard to place.
Best, Mike

I've used it a few times. The key to avoiding the thick gloppy look is to apply it in thin multiple coats, letting it fully dry between coats. I've used it to great success in Healed and Sealed in conjunction with my pk ring.

No, magnets can't stick to aluminum cans; and yes, you are thinking of the right effect.

One of my nieces has this stuff on one of her walls. She basically just puts refrigerator magnet type things on it.
