The pieces in this set have 5mm diameter indents to allow them to be magnetised. These pieces can be combined in all kinds of awesome ways, and I don’t want to lose that versatility – so I’ll be magnetising mine also.

I counted up all the holes and calculated that I’d need about 80 magnets.

Mostly, the magnets fitted into the holes quite snugly. A dab of superglue holds them permanently in place.

There were a few pieces where the hole was just too tight. Fortunately I have a small flat-end file from a multipack of needle files that was just the right width. Giving it a good twizzle around a few times helped make the holes the right diameter.
