I had a major crash which knocked two of the magnets loose from my Axi motor. After much research it was recommended to use thin CA to reattach the magnets, which I did and has held so far for a couple years.

The statement about epoxies is true. Some soften with heat. I wanted to add epoxy in between the magnets so they were better supported around the bell. I cured different kinds and used a soldering iron to test for heat resistance. The cheap 5 min epoxy from the dollar store was the only one that passed the test. LOL. I ended up using it.

Don't use JB weld!!!!! There is iron in the mix and the magnets will redirect the JB weld week flow away from the magnets..

hi Florin,

I haven't done this myself, but Dennis "kyleservicetech" at wattflyer in this thread advocates CA and baking soda.....

Some epoxies soften with heat so I'd be cautious on epoxy approach; I would think JB Weld would work as it advertises its regular mix as able to withstand a constant temperature of 500 degrees F. and is considered an insulator re electricity.

good luck,

Michael

Glue for magnets

The magnets from my Tacon 60 size brushless motor came loose and I would like to reglue them in an attempt to save the motor.

What is the best glue for this purpose? I am thinking of JB Weld or epoxy.
