h2. Procedure

h3. 1. Prep Magnets

# Stack the (36) *18PTR-03: Magnets* into a single row face to face
# Select an end of the stack to mark the faces on to identify one of the poles on all 36 magnets
# Use the permanent marker to place a dot on the selected face of the top magnet
*INSERT PIC*
# Taking care to preserve the orientation of the stack of unlabeled magnets, remove the newly labeled magnet and place marked face up on a plate with space around it to avoid it becoming connected to other magnets
# Repeat until all magnets have been marked

h3. 2. Place Magnets

# Warm up the hot glue gun
# Select a magnet to attach to *18PTR-01: 18 Pole Tone Ring Base*
# Place a small dot of hot glue on unmarked side of the selected magnet and place into one of the slots on the tone ring base
# Select another magnet
# Place a small dot of hot glue on the marked side of the selected magnet and place into the next slot on the tone ring base adjacent to the first magnet
# Repeat these steps, alternating magnet facing until all (36) magnets have been placed on the tone ring base
