 hi vawtman .im sure the ill wind will do sum good.
  on the first rotor i did use epoxy glue.
 and then potted it . first to be sure the mags dont get out.
  then the other was to let the resin protect one of the most expensive things
  i have bought in a while.
  sure wouldn't like to see them magnets go rusty.

 so as i said i will only half pot them.  hope you can understand what i mean.
   and the resin i save i can use on my boat for repairs .
its a ill wind that dos no good

 Surface rust is a great primer for epoxies.My rotor is out in the rain rusting on purpose.
 If your using new steel lightly sand it to remove the protective coating so it can rust.
 Seems crazy but true.

 Are your mags protected by nickel now?

   well a very interesting reply vawtman.
  at one time my was working in the oil refinery's.
  the company i worked for built oil storage tanks. and pipe lines
  but one thing puzzled me when a tank was finished it was left for about
 three months before it was painted.
  of course in that time it was covered in surface rust  .
  to me that was very bad and couldest understand why it wasent painted sooner  

   and now after all this time i understand why .
  a twenty five year mystery solved ha-ha.
   so now i can leave bare metal outside if i am going to paint it soon.

    after wire brushing it of course .
  a good tip vawtman. i also found old brake fluid is great for cleaning a old paint
   brush that had gone hard.  
   were never to old to learn new tricks.
its a ill wind that dos no good
