I have a pic in here of mine. I used Bicycle inner tube cut and glued to the magnet. I don't know why yours loses grip. I have trouble getting my big one off sometimes when my hands are too cold and won't operate properly so I often just slide it up to the centre balance point where it has no balancing effect anymore.
I will go look for the pic and come back. It shows the rubber inner tube glued to one I turned upside down for all to see!
EDIT: Found it in 'Counterweight for Meade UWA' thread.
