I was wondering what medium most people out there used for embedding
magnets in. Specifically, I want to have neodymium (rare earth) magnets
pull items around on the opposite side of a pane of tempered glass &/or
acrylic. So I was going to imbed the magnets in a casting of a urethane,
epoxy or some style plastic cast that would allow its use but wouldn't
scratch up the glass. (You might think of the typical flow tunnel
magnets). So...what casting mediums have people out there used with
success for this endeavor. Information on where to get your favorite
mediums would be appreciated as well.
