looks great but they are all opened-you should protect them with steel shells before sticking them to the Magnet tape.otherwise they could be scratched.I always use steel shells even if i don`t open my Steels

What happens when in a few years you wake up to the sounds of steels dropping to the floor cus of the magnetism dying on the strips

Actually over the last few weeks we've been doing tests on them to see if anything came off and surprisingly none did.

It's also Rubber Magnets not Steel magnets, which gives me a little more confidence.

You are right though, Steel Shells would have been perfect.

Oh well, on my head be it.

Would the magnetic tape be strong enough to go through the plastic?

Well, I don't have any of those, but my wife who works with it fairly often said, she doesn't see why not.

We wouldn't like to say for Certain, just in case it doesn't

I think I have one coming fairly soon, as soon as it gets here I will give it a test.

Sorry I can't be more certain.

Im currently using magnetic strips on my wall for my steels, but i have them in polybags. I tested a couple steelbooks though that are in shells and they did stick fine, and the ones i tested were in polybags as well as shells. I am using two magnet strips per row of steelbooks too.
