Rare Earth Magnets

[Holyassasin]

Hi, I need help with a DIY Frag Rack that I will be making. I need some help, I'll be buying Neodymium Magnets (Rare Earth Magnets) for the frag rack. The thing is... people say the magnets will rust fast if not coated so the question is:

What do I use to coat them and how do i coat them?

I found this page to use plastidip

I just ordered some off of amazon. I'll let you know what I come up with. I'm thinking Plasti-Dip coating might work.

I purchase them off ebay from Hong Kong. They take a little longer but quite a bit cheaper. Depending on the size, I then enclose them in a little ABS box. The wet side I fill in all of the void with hot glue and then use ABS cement to seal the box (don't use the screws ). As an example, I've provided two links below. Two of these on the wet and dry side hold amazingly well on a 3/8" wall acrylic sump. If you want the wet side to hold even better, also use the ABS cement to glue a little piece of PVC tub liner to it. You can get that in the plumbing section of Lowes or the shower section of Home Depot.

Walmart has plastidip for 5 bucks a can. Ace has it to but it's more expensive
