First... you want to buy a few small neodym magnets... you'll be amazed at the difference in power... little bitty things can push 50 grams no problem at 5 mm..... a neodym 40 mm across and 10 mm thick can lift 50 kilos.... Anyways... as to your question. Epoxy or CA glue. They recommend CA. For the whippens I countersunk the magnets and glued them. For the keys I am going to sink them (and glue) in a small letoff button that has a drop screw inserted through. The drop screw will then screw into the shank thats pinned to the key. For experiments tho.. the neodyms will stay put just on a steel screw, where as the kitchen magnets probably wont. Order a few in the size range Ø3 - 5 mm diameter and 3 - 5 mm thickness and fool around with them. There are perhaps several ways of employing these usefully in the action. One thing I heard suggested was to put attracting magnets in both the capstan and whippen cushion to form more of a solid coupling between those too... just a thought Cheers RicB Keith Roberts wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE><style></style> I wanted to ask what you were using to glue the magnets in. I'm having a problem with my homemade refrigerator magnets staying together. Sounds like you're having the same problem.Keith Roberts</blockquote> -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
