Does magnetic primer really work?

Magnetic paint primer works as advertised, but it doesn’t attract magnets as well as, say, a sheet of steel. For best results, use strong magnets that aren’t too heavy—you’ll find these at a craft store—and use more than one magnet to hold anything heavier than a single sheet of paper.
