How do you glue your rock to a magnet?

[Dburr1014]

I wanted to glue a rock to a magnet for a wall rock. Just not sure on what to use.
Rtv, epoxy, cement...

What do you use?

 

[Brad Miller]

Have never done that but I really like that idea...maybe just like a frag ?
I use superglue with 2 part epoxy in between the superglue on both attaching surfaces.
Could be since both will be dry, just use a good superglue

I've used JB Water weld, and pushed it into the rock and around the magnets. It held on great.

I will definitely try this
Could even use a dremell to the rock so you get all around contact with the magnet

I thought for sure I would get responses with people who have done this.

You just did

will water intrude through the adhesive in several year allowing rust, or does it provide a sufficient barrier?

What worked for me was 2 coats of Plasti Dip on the magnets, I had it in the tank for about 2 years, and after an autopsy, there was no signs of corrosion/rust.

Buy a magnet from @cromag27 if you want to use it long term. Jb water weld

I had a couple magnets from old hydor pumps. I used them. I used a clear 2 part epoxy and then silicon on top of that. It came out pretty well.

I'll have to get a better pic for you all

@Dburr1014 that came out sweet.

 

[Katrina71]

Yes it did!

 

[Retro Reefer]

Very nicely done.

Thanks, didn't take to long. An hour for the epoxy and I let the silicon dry for 2 days. Didn't want to take any chances.
