I didn't know this?? was created by Kelley
So there I was, with those cool new gondola kit I got from Gerd. I was thinking, Hmmm, If I used some of those supper magnets, I could hold this sucker together in all the right angles and with no hands, and could then concentrate on putting just enough glue where I need to.
The only one I did find was the round one, :( (The other tiny,tiny square ones are lost in the vortex, probably sucked up in my computer's hard drive,vacuum motor, or it was ingested.) Anyways I took the one I had, and thought, OH BOY,I will get these 2 pieces to stick soooo close together, and then I found out...stainless steel is non magnetic :(

Kelley, it's actually nickel-silver, but that doesn't help, correct, non-magnetic. As an aid just use something L-shaped and stick the parts on with some sticky tape. I do the same, I have a Teflon block and solder those parts on them too.

Thanks Gerd. Absolutely no negative reflection on the model as all. jut my magnet idea. I'm using and clothespins and rubber bands and tape legos and...the usual stuff.
