what glue for magnets on prop?
Hi Everyone,
I need to get my hands on some very high quality dual compound glue capable of securing magnets properly.
Don't mind if it isn't cheap - I just want good stuff that won't loose the magnets on the drive to the SVA centre!

I centre popped the prop for the magnet centres and filed some flats.
then araldited the magnets in place and covered them over with a thin coat.
They never fell off whilst I had the car
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

Another vote for epoxy metal reapir stuff. I have then wrapped over the top with gaffer tape (highly structual you understand....!).

My vote is for clear silicone -- make sure everything is scrupulously clean, wind a few turns of fiberglass packing tape around afterward -- makes a
nice resiliant bond, they get knocked off after a few rallies but I imagine they'd last forever on a seven.
Cheers, Ted

I couldnt get araldite to hold for mor ethan 1500 miles. Might have been due to gearbox oil leak degrading it.
ETB did recommend an adhesive they use (i posted details yonks ago - worth a search) but it isnt cheap. They also recommended drilling a shallow blind
hole in prop flange just slightly larger diameter than the magnets such that they will be about 1 or 2mm proud, then add adhesive.
I ended up using JB weld, with a thin smear over the top and they have been fine for a few thousand since.

The key is to get a good keyed surface, and then chemically clean as well before you glue either the magnet or the bit you are glueing it onto.
The slighest bit of oil, grease, or crud, and its likely to fall off later on... Usually just as you arrive at the SVA depot
Good and careful preparation in any aspect will pay you dividends.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
