[*]DAP StrongStik or any other adhesive that doesn't set immediately (Don't use epoxy).
[*]2" steel washer
The parts of the fan after it has been disassembled:
(I already glued the washer on here, pretend it's not there)
The glue I used:
(It doesn't set immediately, this is useful for centering)
Centering the washer:
[*]This is the same technique for centering a thrown pot on a potter's wheel for trimming.
[*]With the fan spinning, hold the pen steady and bring it towards the washer until it just touches.
[*]Turn off the fan and look where the mark is. If the mark is equal all around, you're done. If the mark is only on one side, nudge the washer in the opposite direction of the center of the mark.
[*]Repeat until the mark is equal all around.
Affixing the magnets:
I didn't permanently attach the magnets because I wanted to allow for adjustments. I just put a drop of Loctite on the washer beneath each magnet. This worked so well that I didn't need to permanently attach them.
Et voila :rockin:
