Also if they are big enough, you may get a dry patch under the magnet if the resin can't naturally flow all the way under before it cures. The piece is pretty small and the magnets will go in a flat area. The part is around around 9" x 9" and the magnets are like inch circles and putting two of them in it.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 32, Visits: 388	I have a project I am working on and it needs several small magnets infused into it. The part is rather thin and will only be one layer of 5.7 oz or 160 or so grams and final layer of 14 oz or 400 or so grams. These will be all infused and wondering if the magnet will cause any problems with the resin or will I have a nice print through of the magnet on the front side? I'm gonna do some testing but seeing if anyone has experience with it first.
