An interesting problem, cause there are plenty of times when i want to magnetize the hair to do something sensible, like respond to gravity. When i was messing with Michael's chin recently, i realized that the base placement and the zone are what's really important to adjust, not the magnet itself. It certainly does take a lot of tweaking, i'll grant you that. i have the gel hair, too, so if i'm allowed some free time tonight, i'll poke at it, too. Maybe if enough of us do that, it will yield. :^)
