| Epoxy repellent?
Question: I'm working on making magnetic body mounts for my scaler. I've got the posts to length, got the magnets and the little bits of metal (basically washers) that they'll attach to. I want to use epoxy to attach the washers to the inside of the body, I used CA gel on a previous project and it doesn't hold well. The best way to get everything lined up correctly is to put the magnets on the body posts, put the washers on the magnets, put epoxy on the washers, line the body up just where I want it, and let the whole thing sit for a couple of days to make sure the epoxy is good and cured. I'm worried, however, that I may end up gluing my mounting points to my magnets. Any suggestions on something (I'm thinking along the lines of vaseline) that I could put where the magnet meets the mounting point to make sure they don't end up bonded together? Thanks in advance -val |

Use wax paper between the magnets.

In airplanes when we epoxy hinges in we use regular Chap Stick in the joints. I have yet to have ruined hinge by doing this. |
