Hi Margaret,

Maybe a sheet of aluminium on the floor near the magnet? Or perhaps better a static-dissipative floor mat (with higher resistance than metal).

Has anyone found a fix for the static problem, preferably not involving any special behaviors required of users, such as making them touch something else to discharge before approaching the magnet? We have one magnet that does it more often than another, and I have never understood why. In either case it is a relatively rare occurrence, but we’d like to avoid it altogether.
