I'm making a prototype magnetic tool holder, I've got a bunch of rectangular N52 magnets that sit next to each other and provide a good amount of pull. The issue is because there's a bunch of magnets, the things I put on the holder seem to want to stick to one magnet or another and click between the magnets, rather than sliding smoothly across the surface.

My question: If I put a weaker fridge magnet style sheet on top, like in the model above, would it retain its strength and unify the field of the magnets?

Please let me know if you need any clarification.
