With steel paper becoming increasingly harder to get, has anyone tried the magnetic copy paper for printers instead?
If so how good is the adhesion onto magnetic sheet?

I once got some from a Poundshop.

Wasn't worth the paper it was made from.

Thanks for the info


I thought this might be the case, I was looking for something similar in thickness to the steel paper Coratani miniatures used to sell

Aye, it's OK if an A4 sheet stuck to the fridge but for basing it's just not strong enough.

I build electric guitars and basses, for pickup magnets I use these folks.

Link to their magnetic sheets.
