Howdy,

Ok, I'm really, really hoping that someone knows a good way to solve this
minor but consistent irritation...

My welding triangle magnets have this unnatural attraction to metal
filings/shavings/whatever.  There's usually tons of this crap on them,
enough that it can get in the way of holding something square.

Is there any non-sucky way to clean the metal shavings/filings off these
things?  Typically I just push them around into a magnetized pile on the
side, then pick it off with my fingers, but that always leaves plenty of
filings in place.

Just hoping that someone has figure out how to temporarily make the
magnets not like metal or something.  :-)

Mark
