In fact they are so strong I have more problems with the museum clay keeping the magnet attached to the figure stand then with having the figure stands sliding around.
Thanks - that's kind of what I figured (as I said, Adam Savage used these for all sort of tricks on Mythbusters over the years and they seem to be pretty powerful). Just wanted to make sure this worked in theory before I tried it in practice.
Of course, looking at the WIPs in my home office... most of the (admittedly cheap) stands I use are perfectly flat, so I'll have to test whether the magnet would retain attraction through both the stand AND the shelf for those guys. Again, shouldn't be too big an issue.
