Magnet mounting

[chadsmo]

How does everyone mount their magnets with their Hammond boxes ? I'll be starting my first mod next week and would like it to be nice and clean.

epoxy or superglue

Yup, file until one just barely falls in, you can always use another magnet to pull it back out. Then I put a little gel super glue inside the hole along the edge and push the magnet back in. After doing all 4 and allowing them dry, I put the lid on and put the magnets in the lid with it in place. Then I dump some gel on top of them and let dry. I then fill the remaining space with black acrylic paint and let dry to hide everything. I'll see if I can snap a pic after work.

I should also mention that I reverse the polarity of the magnets from top to bottom. I find the door always fits a little better in one orientation over the other. This way it's a non point.
