If the surface is too convoluted for the tape to work, there is a product in the UK called "Copydex", which is sold as a carpet glue but can be used to remove debris from a magnet. It is an emulsified latex solution which doesn't stick well to metal surfaces and can be peeled off easily. You apply the Copydex thickly over the surface to be cleaned - and then wait. Eventually the milky white liquid dries to complete transparency, then it is strong enough to be peeled off, bringing the debris with it. -- ~ Liz Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk
