I wanted to make some magnetic dots for putting on car panels and also to be non sticky to set on or scatter around flat objects. After placing a few dots on a magnetic sheet I realized it could go faster if I did a transfer method like placing large stickers. The pictures should speak for themselves. The tape is 2" or 25mm wide high quality masking tape. It sticks better to the dots then they do to the plastic sheet but not as good as the dots stick to the magnetic sheet so it works well. Painters tape like the blue or green varieties or cheaper masking tape may not work for this as they are lacking stickiness. I could get 2 rows punched with a 10mm hole punch and then trim with scissors. This magnetic sheet is a dry erase sheet that I had lying around and it is quite thin. The magnet with the white peeled back is only 0.4mm or 0.015" thick and is quite weak. It will stick to painted and powder coated sheet metal but barely and a strong wind could move them so I would recommend getting a thicker sheet but at the same time these are easily removeable without chance of scratching paint with fingernails or a person can use a stronger magnet to “suck” them up off the surface. Took less than 10 minutes to put stickers on sheet and about 45 minutes to punch them out with a couple short breaks for the hands from squeezing the cheap, oversprung hand punch. There are 400 dots there. I would have gone for a full 500 but only 480 would fit on the sheet and I just couldn’t live with that
