Anybody have more information on that theory that it is an epoxy paste filler or does anyone know how the surface of the magnet could be repaired / refinished??
Can't tell if the ring that's 1/2 missing was a prefabbed part that was pressed in or if it's a filler. We always had good results with a steel/epoxy like 180 mentioned called Liquid Steel. ITW Devcon makes different formulas for Steel, Stainless, Titanium, Bronze, Etc.
