I'm making my first stir and don't have a ton of time to fiddle around. I see everyone's stir plates use two magnets, and I don't know how the polarity on the stir bar is arranged, but I assume at the ends. Therefore I assume you must use two magnets to get matching poles at the ends instead of at the top and bottom. Is this all correct? Has anyone used a single round magnet or bar magnet? Thanks!
1-piece magnet in stir plate?

Yes, they have used a bar magnet, but most use a hard drive magnet by itself, if not using two separate.

Thank you Stealth. I don't want to use the HD magnet as I don't have any spares and with data theft issues, no computer repair store will give away old busted drives. The round magnets I speak of look like watch batteries and the bar ones are more flat rectangles.
