What do you folks recommond to glue magnets to metal or plastic/resin. I am going to be doing multiple arms for a Warmachine warjack made out of their plastic/resin compound. Martin |

The glue stick version or is there another? |

I've had luck sanding the magnet a little and then using super glue. |

I do the same as Mr Elmo and I've never had one come loose. |

I use two part epoxy.

Two-part epoxy for me. I'd worry that superglue is too sensitive to the "shock" when the magnet collides with metal or another magnet. |

Semi tight hole and superglue. Magnetized dozen of the PP plastic things and with the magnets set flush in a hole the pull force of a pound or two won;t pull a magnet bonded in with superglue. |

I've used a hot glue gun successfully (more to try out the gun than any confidence in it). 4 months and no problems yet the magnets seem to hold well in both the plastic and metal parts. Super glued parts done at the same time seem to be doing identically. As the super glue was cleaner to work with The next batch will be done part in super glue and part 5 minute epoxy to compare them. x42 |
