Thanks, I knew it was a stupid question, but I learned a lot tonight!Yes, once you have the compass accurate at the cardinal points (N, E, S. & W), then the magnets need to be secured in place, including their orientation (keep them from turning or moving from their optimal, adjusted position). Black tape can work okay for this.
