Tricks to holding Neodymium magnets in place?

[LundiThembi]

I love them for hatches but they keep pulling out, any tricks for gluing/securing them in place?

I glue them in using epoxy then use a piece of paper over the top of it, makes a cover to keep it in.

^^^Paper, or tape over the top of them so you don't just have magnet on magnet contact

Thanks Carolyn and Nick, I'll try that today, finishing up a nnChipmunk today!

I've had good luck with using a tiny amount of white Gorilla Glue. Put a piece of tape over the top while it dries to hold it in place. Magnets seem to adhere pretty well, even without a covering of paper or tape.

Will also help scratch up the side you're gluing down to give glue-epoxy something to hold onto, clean with alcohol.
