I got the double thick magnets bonded and magnetized. The charge doesn't feel that strong though. I used the clamp and put plastic on each of the rare earth magnets then stuck the unmagnetized mag in and brought the clamp down then brought the clamp back out. Wondering if there's a better process or if I should repeat the process to get the charge stronger. Also, the magnetizer charges the side of the unmagnetized mag the same pole as the charging magnet right? I supposed there could be something about the nature of the double thick mag that makes the charge seem less strong. I'm just testing it against the perceived charge of regular thickness mags. I have a gauss meter on the way that I guess I could use to be more scientific about it.

Re: I done dit it
The clamp seems to work pretty well. I redid one in the clamp without the plastic spacers and it grabbed the opposite pole then when I brought the clamp down it flipped the poles to the same pole as the mags in the clamp. Then when I tested the strength by feel it felt about the same. I think it feels weak cuz they're UOs and different shape than the regular thickness ones. I'll have to wait until my gauss meter gets here. I'm sure if I try out the homemade double thick mag it will probably work fine.The things that you wanted

Re: I done dit it
I see, thanks. Helpful to have some input since there's almost nothing online. So it makes it the opposite pole of the magnetizing magnet. Evidently I got sticking 2 magnets together to work. Cermag said it's legit so I just did what they said. Got unmagnetized mags, epox-d them together, then magnetized them. Gonna try A2/A5 in my 80s 59b in neck position of my jazz ax soon.The things that you wanted

Re: I done dit it
Yap. I was happy waiting almost a month for cermag then when I realized how easy magnetizing is I thought I should just do it. Then I can mix mags and make them for others.The things that you wanted
