The magnets do work great if you put them behind a .060 inch sheet of Nomex
(trade name for a transformer insulating material and also used by fire
suit manufacturers) which shields the heat so the magnet can be placed very
close without damaging its magnetism. We usually use 3 thickness of the
060 material.
