In this day and age there has to be a store/site that custom makes magnet's for cheap! I'll do some checking.
These should do the trick. http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Magnetic-Material-12-inch-Magnetizing/dp/B001NGE9C0

I may test them on some monos I'll be building in the very near future. I'll keep you updated. Seems like an awesome idea.

What about EZ Felt instead of iron poly? Two layers of EZ should suffice? I'm making a mono right now and I have all the materials needed for polymags.

I constructed two tubs already with polymags, they stay on great. I'm loving the sleek look of the EZFelt mag filters too rather than stuffed poly. I'll upload some pics here or in a new grow log within the next couple days.

I'm wondering the same thing. There are also various factors to the filter design...
Are you using ironed poly? Are you using EZFelt? Are you using one or two layers? Maybe one layer of EZFelt or ironed poly IS too much restriction... Maybe 1 layer is too little and two layers is too much... Who knows?
I've been wondering all these questions the past few days since I constructed mine. Been asking around as well, can't seem to get an answer...
I now have two tubs colonizing for the past 3 days so I guess we will find out soon. Currently, I'm using only 1 layer of EZ on my polymags.
It just seems like more testing needs to be done before we know for sure.

I found if you just trace the circle out, it can easily be cut with scissors just by starting a slice at the bottom of the square to the start of your tracing, then just cut the circle out. The ones I use are very flexible and cutting a slit at the bottom doesn't effect functionality.
The first time I tried to drill one out I completely destroyed it... I don't know how Spit did it but he is one crazy guy.

The only person who has given me a straight answer about EZFelt is Spitball and I know he is still in the testing stage as well. I do agree with him when he said two layers seems to be too much though.

Well we certainly haven't "dialed our polymag tubs in like a boss", have we... I really would like to know because I have two tubs so far that depend on it. Two days and I'll have one ready for casing...

I agree. Well, I'll be testing this one out for sure. Make sure to keep a spare polyfill pillow handy for emergency.

I wasn't even aware of the loose top holes concept until now. I was going to use the same on the top as the bottom, now I'm thinking I should do an intervention and make a change...

Well polyfill is not so much a concern on the top as the bottom for me. Most of the reason I like the idea of polymags on the bottom is because it doesn't get all up in the mushrooms, I saw one tub where a shroom was fused right into the poly.

So, I guess I'll post this here before I post my first real grow thread... I have gone Spitball by the book from my grain to my tubs (may the force be with me).
Currently, I have two tubs going. One is B+ 66 qt spawned to CVG on Aug 25th. The second is the same thing, except its PE spawned on the 26th. Here are a few pics...
Polymags

B+ Progress.

PE. (what you are seeing on the tubs is my colonization magnets. My EZFelt magnets are yet to be tested)

The sticky on my magnets are good enough that you don't even have to pre sand or RTV them. They adhere quite strongly to the tub by itself.
However, I do crazy glue my EZFelt to the magnets. I'm also planning on gluing a piece of cardboard or something to the back of each of my colonization magnets so they are more rigid and not so flimsy.

Yeah, they are magnet sheets with adhesive on one side.

I got mine at a crafts store, they were expensive... Seen something like them on Amazon or Ebay for a decent price though.
