Adhering two sensing magnets to create a lifting magnet
I’ve got plenty of SMM TiN magnets and I thought for my next implant, I’ll combine two of them(after the standard cleaning, testing, and safety inspection) to create a lifting magnet. I’ve seen an individual on YouTube do this, however one of hers ended up breaking and separating in her finger. My question is the safety of this. I also thought of applying some FDA8 medical epoxy in between the magnets to solidify them as one.

Seems like a bad idea to me, for the reason you mentioned.
@delta12 The magnetic force between the two magnets in conjunction with the epoxy hopefully should be sufficient to give it the strength as one(in theory). The epoxy also acts as a second barrier to prevent degradation.
The epoxy would be bonding to the TiN coatings not the actual magnet. When any force is applied it will be pulling the coatings away from the magnet. How well can the coatings cope with this force before flaking?
In my experience, fda2t doesn't bind particularly well to the magnets we're using, and isn't that strong an epoxy to begin with. Not that I've tried roughing them up first, but that would be my main concern.
