So one of the magnets in my door keeps popping out (I must of dropped it one time too many). What is the best way to secure it back to the door? Would super glue work?
How do I secure a magnet to the door?

Crazy glue and patience 
I bought 2 spare doors from Rob a while ago, and they came with the magnets separately. Not too hard, but don't set the door magnets down until the glue dries

I didn't even notice where you are from. I live in Medicine Hat. Did you make out ok with the flooding, work/ live away from downtown etc? And crazy weather this year, I don't think I have ever seen the prairies this green at the end of July.
WAIT!!!
Place your magnet on the opposing magnet....then take a sharpie and put a dot on the side that is facing you. When you are ready to seat your magnet in the glue, make sure the dot side goes against the metal, not facing out. You will kick yourself for putting it in backwards. Trust me...it's been done many times before.

Thanks for the tip, with my luck I would of glued it in the wrong way.
Thankfully we were fine both at home and work.
My wife actually just spent the weekend down there for the annual chili and salsa festival. Was the first year in the last four I've been unable to attend
Did you make it out for it?And thanks for the reminder Rhapsodies Fire. I completely forgot about that part
No problem....just seen it happen too many times to not say something. 
Here is a brief photo description I did to help if anyone doesn't get my panicked typing.

I didn't this year, I went to the Air Show in Lethbridge. It was good but the CF-18 was having problems on Saturday and couldn't fly.

wow, glad i saw this be4 i got out the glue
Great tip, RF! I would have never thought of this. It's this kind of friendly and helpful stuff that makes me proud to be a member of the reo sub forum and a reonaut. Also want to give a shout out to Rob for his great customer service over the phone the other day and for the ultra fast shipping. WOW!
It is more fixable with anodized as they can be soaked in acetone. Some pop out more easily than others. DO NOT SOAK POWDER COATED IN ACETONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, if replacing a magnet be sure to get out all old glue or they won't sit flush in hole. Been there; done that.

WAIT SOME MORE!!!!!!
if you are gluing in more than one magnet. like a matching pair. and you like to switch doors. be sure to not only set up the pair of magnets to each other, but also to the corresponding magnet on the mod you swap with. Take one magnet, call it the new door magnet, put it on the swap-mod as though it were in the door. mark the outside. Then take it's partner, put them together with the mark still outside and mark the partner on its outside, yada yada yada

There goes our mag-lev idea. 2 more on the bottom and we'd have been in business with something spooky looking!
