 We are going to cut a small square of the magnet strip and adhere it to the spindle.

Once you have determined a good location, use some isopropyl alcohol to clean the location well. Wait a few seconds for the alcohol to completely evaporate and then adhere the hunk of magnet to the spindle in the desired position. We are going to cut a small square of the magnet strip and adhere it to the spindle.
