The products have a good price but they ask me 36€ to ship to Portugal… 
Shipping white powders… always expensive. 
Can you find a surfboard repair or supply shop?
Surely there must be big fibreglass suppliers closer?

Apparently so… 
I don’t know I will look it to it thanks for the tip
Ok, I just made my first attempt 
what a mess
I passed, re-passed and re-re-passed again and again on multiple magnets to remove everything, but nothing to do … there are always traces of the passage of the wooden rods which make furrows on the magnets with the “glue”.
I hope/think it’s ok,… but I see some here with a perfect clean magnet after the work is done.
You clean them again after its dry right ?
Thx for this thread

I ran into a bit of a snafu… the high-heat qwik-steel didn’t have the right formability to do what I wanted… I’m looking thru the shop for some regular qwik-steel, I know that’s good… so essentially still in a holding pattern…
however the molded and cured high-heat qwik-steel shows very little continuity (electrically) when un-cured and zero continuity or magnetism when it’s cured…
…science…
i’ll keep ya’all in the loop…

Oo. I thought it was iron filled like most j and b.
it supposedly is… it says it contains metal right on the container… and is made by the JBweld company… I always believed it to be true but when I tested it nada tostada…

I was hoping for even extra iron powder thrown in for the real science. Maybe u discover the kv drops a lot and it’s a huge plus

yeah meeeee tooo i’m looking for some qwik-steel to test it…
I just tested JBweld (regular edition) it shows no, or very, very weak imperceptible magnetism once cured… and zero continuity when probed with a high-quality continuity checker…

All along I thought it was magnetic and everyone said it was. I just threw out my bag of iron powder from the beach.

idk if you all have seen this before. Cool for a first battle hardening experiment.

WARNING
I advice not to battle harden new motors anymore after my story with APS. Even opening a motor voids warranty and battle hardening destroys warranty 100%. I have problems with both 6384V2 and get no replacements. After some e-mails he sends me now a new rotor after convincing him that the bent shaft/rotor is caused by bad packaging, it was just air bubble wrap, on many places without air in the bubbles and damaged 
From now on I will ride/test new motors for 2 weeks and if they run flawlessly then they are ready for battle hardening but not before.
I hope I can save you some troubles with this warning so be smarter than me and check your motors carefully before doing any modifications.

That’s not good.
So it seems the only reliable motor for us EU peeps are Hobbyking’s SK8?

did the shaft bent after use or it came like this? i think you would have noticed a bent shaft during installation.
