What glue do you use to glue rare earth magnets in place? I'm thinking CA or epoxy. Thanks

I need to mention that I will be gluing the magnets to red oak.

Jim,

Can you tell us what material you want to attach the magnets to?

Jim,
CA is probably a good choice. If it doesn't stick well the first time, try again. The second time is usually a charm. I've learned that from my slot car racing hobby (1:32 scale) where gluing magnets is kind of a science. The polypropylene plastic we use for our chassis' is immune to ALL adhesives EXCEPT for a second coat of CA. I hope that this helps.
