I would not even attempt it. I would just buy another magfloat. The are relatively cheap.

I wouldn't even take the risk, but that's just me. I spend way too much on my display tank for it to be ruined over something stupid like that.

Personally I just use one of those inexpensive "sponge on a stick" cleaners to clean the QT, used exclusively for that tank.
Best wishes,

no. shortcuts involving what are essentially poisons [copper] will not save you money: they may cost you your tank.
And why on earth would you need to mag your qt tank? THere should be nothing in it, and it's probably glass: just use a one-edge razor blade, hand-held, unless you're qt'ing a lionfish or other poisonous species, if you actually need to see through it.
