Jolemai Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Can't believe I've done this but I've glued a magnet on the wrong way in an arm that joins at the shoulder. Best way to prise it out?

Firepower Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 With a great deal of swearing, typically. If it's in plastic, carve out a niche beside it and hope that you used little enough superglue to lever it out with a paper clip or the tip of a needle file. If you used too much superglue, you're probably gonna dig quite a trench trying to lever it out. In pewter, you're in for a rough day. I have no experience with finecast, so can't say there. Good luck. After working to get it out, this will be a mistake you never make again.

Obeliske Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Finecast is likely to shatter from my experience better off chopping it out in a controlled cut then digging away at it. If you have a pick (as for working greenstuff) that will work perfectly.

Grotsmasha Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Dig two little nicks either side and use your clippers to grasp and work it out. The best way to prevent reverse polarity id to magnetize the arm first, then drill the torso, then place the torso's magnet onto the arm's magnet, then use the arm to push the torso magnet into place. Then use that same arm to magnetize the entire squad. There you'll have it, no more reverse polarity.

JGeils81 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I made a little tool to keep mine correct...glued a tiny magnet to a piece of sprue and put a handle on it, I only insert magnets into shoulders and weapons with it, then use them to seat their partner. Once(before I made it) I got polarity wrong, I use super glue so I just used debonder and a bigger magnet to get the mini one out Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306536-incorrect-polarity/#findComment-4017467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 yeah debonder and bigger magnet is what I would try first Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306536-incorrect-polarity/#findComment-4017470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Worst case: drill through the other side of the shoulder and push the magnet out from the backside. Then fill the hole with a little greenstuff. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306536-incorrect-polarity/#findComment-4018024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Drill a hole right along the side of the magnet, and then use a rod or paperclip to lever the sucker out of there. In future, take a small nail or metal rod and place it on one end of your stack of magnets. Line up all the arms you want to magnetize, and push the magnets in on the side without the nail. When that's done, immediately switch the nail to the opposite end of the stack, and push into the torsos using the now nail-less end.
