In Aerospace, we use high tack polyester tape to pick up chips left behind on benches, etc. I've also used a Neodymium/Iron Boride magnet on the bottom of a test tube/sample jar to remove metal flakes for later analysis, magnets work a treat for iron filings.
What a great, simple tip. Thanks.
did you get them *all*, is that some left behind or is that non magnetic dirt on the table?
