One wouldn\'t think it was, based mostly on the understanding that aluminum isn\'t magnetic. At least that\'s what I\'ve always thought. I guess I\'ll have the opportunity to test it out with my dreadnaught.

I never heard of that. Where did you get this information?

My guess is he tried it, that\'s how he came about the info.
I just did, too. The brown portion of the putty has a slight magnetic pull, as in, a small rare earth magnet stack will stick to the brown putty, but that\'s about it.

Reminds me of last night on the Simpsons:
Homer gets an ad painted on his head. He turns off the light.
Marge: Oooh, it glows in the dark.
Homer (sounding worried): it\'s not supposed to.
Speaking of which, for the first time an avatar made me go look at a gallery. Unfortunately the Homer Simpson space marine is not in mickc22\'s gallery.

Ummm No its not. Ive been working with wrown stuff almost daily for the last 10 plus years and never found it to be magnetic. I work it with steel tools from the initial sculpting stage when its soft to carving and fileing when its hard.. and the last thing it is is magnetic.. sticky ass hell when soft yes and dusty when carved and sanded.. but not magnetic.

@DFD: Please explain why a rare earth magnet will stick to the brown portion of the putty through the protective plastic layer. Strongly? No, but it still sticks.

Iron filings will stick to a magnet but the filings themselves are not magnetic, but have a magnetic permeability. To be magnetic, brown stuff would have to be the \"attracting\" factor, not the \"attracted\". So what you mean to say is brown stuff will stick to magnets.
I hope this clarifies things... but I\'m sure people will still want to agrue about it.

Duende is better than Bill Nye.
But not nearly as cool as Beakman\'s World.

I remember Tennessee Tuxedo. Phineas J. Whoopee was cool. But he is no Beakman. The world of Commander McBragg was cool too.

What Duende said in her post. Brown stuff may have a small amount of iron powder in it witch the magnet would indeed stick to, But the putty itself is not magnetic.
Micks origionl post was brown putty is magnetic and I was just stateing that brown putty was not magnetic as it has no magnetic properties.

@DFD: Guess that makes sense Would explain why the pull wasn\'t very strong, too.
