I need to glue some rare earth magnets to mild steel rods, both .25" diameter. Same design as an eraser on the end of the pencil.
They'll be holders for various small antiques. The magnets allow them to be mounted without mutilating them, and to be removed for inspection with a minimum of fuss.
What's the best adhesive for this? Hardware store superglue hasn't lasted so long, even with careful cleaning of the surfaces. Is there a particular grade of superglue, or a flavor of Loctite that works well for this?
JB weld has worked ok for larger magnets, but it seems a bit sloppy for .25"
Any suggestions?
