Discovered something might be used or avoided by someone besides me.
Did online search only found epoxy coated magnets, nothing else.
Been using a lot of epoxy for a lot of different things this spring.
On Peel needed 2 braces off frame spine projected sideways to hold up the front
of a tray. Polished galvanized gives acceptable under seat finish.
So took care not to get epoxy on top, then put super magnet disc on top
to hold brace till set and worked a treat, till >>.
No matter how careful to glob on goop - all clean- till I turned to look
again - there were smears on top between frame and brace seam, right where
I'd left a nice bead. ugh, took a few times to see it t'wert me but the magnet
pulling a tongue out then spread out on magnet edge and brace top.
I'd gone to extra lengths to damn up against epoxy drips on frame and cradle below.
Worry was epoxy would still flow out from under the humped brace space.
Realized with the magnet as clamp the epoxy was mostly sucked up under
the brace filling the space with little excess drooling away. Cool.
For the many tiny tasks, fittings to plugs to submarine brass ring moring posts,
I found mixing a blob on bottom of plastic container with a 1" size button
magnet under kept the small puddle from spreading out too thin to use up.
Takes on raised hump shape of a padded button. Bring a magnet close
to blob and get a tongue of suspended epoxy reaching out for it. The magnet
sticks to bottom when mixture lifted, Just scope up dose ya want - hardly any need
to scrap up enough from the surrounds.
How cool is that - able to suck on a sealer adhesive, into cracks and hidden spaces
and stays put or goes where you call it.
Was pensive how to seal the swing arm ends leaking air out the top bores
of clamp bolts, how to keep it out the bolt holes and threads at very end..
Need some serous magnets to hold protective screen on tight access mower fan
so their 1st job will be to hold the epoxy to fill 1" wide thin gaps till set up.
Uoo, this is how I'll do Trixie's Combat case with proud oil drain tunnel cracked along its
length, pensive how to get enough epoxy in the fracture to seal forever without
grinding a groove and nil evidence on the surface. Al is essential transparent
to magnetic flux ya know.. Cool.
