Which magnet is which?

[KramerAmsterdam]

HI,

Need advice please.
I have a made a Hybrid but I mixed up the magnets. Now I can't tell which one is which? It is made of a 59B and a Custom. The magnets look like the A2 and the A5 on these pictures:

One of them should however be a Ceramic bar? The A2 lookalike has a slight blue (i think-will check in daylight) strip on 1 tip. The tutorial (thanks to John Spina) speaks of paint stripes on the long northside of the magnet?

So any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Remy

Put it on the fridge: the strongest is the ceramic bar, it looks dull grey.

Neither one looks like the one on the pics in the left-that is what I expected though to begin with?

-edit- I checekd the one left over and it definately has a blue marking, that means it is an A2 according to John's tutorial? Am I lucky to just got that form the 59B than ? Or did someone already made his Custom into CC before I got it? Either way-the A2 is going back in -edit-

Could it be that both are Alnico magnets for some reason?

If I have them both out I will try for sure the fridge trick.

Cheers,
Remy
