Are you like me and get frustrated seeing your prized U.S. flag, AKA OLD GLORY wrapped around herself every time you come home? Well, barring a tornado, tsunami, or hurricane force winds, this little tip will help you to solve the problem 99% of the time!
I spent less than 20 minutes, and less than $7.
I bought two packs of ceramic block magnets from Harbor Freight (item 97504) valued at $0.99 a pack and a roll of Professional Grade SCOTCH brand 35 red vinyl electrical tape at Lowe's for $3.58, and came up with a really great solution to solve this annoying problem.
I tried to paint the magnets at first using Rust-Oleum gloss protective enamel red paint and it was just too messy. After I let it dry it was still tacky after several hours. This wound up damaging my.old flag (R.I.P.)
I purchased a brand new flag at Lowe's, which I would recommend anyway because the bright red stripes blend in well with the new vinyl tape that I used on the magnets.
After wrapping the magnets in the tape I installed the magnets as I indicated in the video by off setting them so that when the wind blows it will not make the magnets on opposite sides stick together.
