Riptide Battlesuit Magnetization Recommendations

Large Flat – Tall is your flat flight stand choice.

[Buy Product=2x-large-flat-extra-strength-magnetic-flight-stands,variant=14030251360340]

 

For a basing magnet, use the Large Thick Flush-Fit Base Magnets, 6mm x 2.6mm. You will want to use 1 magnet if you transport the base separately and 2 if you transport the model on flight stand on the base.

[Buy Product=gw-flush-fit-base-magnets-large,variant=39439165882452]

 

If you would like a base with holes preset for magnets so the magnets can never pop out, use the 120mm oval base with magnet.

For a flat bottomed base, use the Self-Adhesive magnets for an easy no-drill option.

 Use the 3mm x 2mm disc magnets for the side arm options, which is the same as all Battlesuits.

[Buy Product=100pcs-3mm-x-2mm-1-8-x-1-16-disc-magnets,Variant=All]

Use 6mm x 2mm disc magnets for the main weapon option swaps.

A variety of super glues for a variety of reasons. Here's a quick overview about the specific uses of each of our super glues.

 

Before getting to any one adhesive, we chose to carry this glue brand for a reason. It is the only one that can hold the strongest N52 Neodymium Super Magnets that we carry reliably. We could have gone with a number of different brands but this one worked better.

 

Maxi-Cure Plus Super Glue

This is a standard super glue with reasonable work and cure times. A little bit of gap filling goes a long way when magnetizing.

[Buy Product=maxicure-superglue,Variant=All]

Insta-Set Accelerant

Not an adhesive, this is a spray that cures the Maxi-Cure within a few seconds.

Not compatible with Super Gold, and Insta-Cure contains some Insta-Set already.

[Buy Product=instaset-instant-cure-superglue-spray,Variant=All]

Insta-Cure

This is a super quick cure time, it has some of the accelerant in the formula so it is a little looser but quick incredibly fast.

[Buy Product=insta-cure-1,Variant=All]

Super Gold

Colorless, odorless, and a little slower to cure, this CA glue is just as strong as the others but is the best for clear plastics and glass for a no-fog super glue. This is a premium glue and is a little slower to cure than the others. Not compatible with Insta-Set, it will heat up, still take a while to cure, and then fog. If you want fast acting go with the other glues we carry.

[Buy Product=super-gold-plus-acrylic-superglue,Variant=All]

Epoxy

This is a 2-part epoxy adhesive, best for when you have big magnets in big projects. Think 18mm magnets or larger.

[Buy Product=epoxy-5-minute-extra-strong,Variant=All]

Super Glue Caps

These are compatible with any of the 1/2oz, 1oz, or 2oz bottles but not the 8oz or Epoxy bottles of glue, not compatible with Insta-Set.

 [Buy Product=glue-caps-spare-superglue-caps,Variant=All]

Green Stuff

When you just need some time and a lot of material to fill a space where you want a magnet, mix up a pinch of the blue and yellow and show a magnet into it.

Good Magnet Gluing Practices:

If you are gluing a magnet into a hole there should be plenty of surface area to hold it in with glue.

If you are gluing a magnet to a smooth surface, very lightly sand or scuff the surface of the magnet and the gluing surface.

Try to keep finger oils to a minimum on the magnets and destination surfaces as these can reduce the effectiveness of adhesives.
