@Cassox Thanks heaps for replying! And also for offering to swap for another one. I have saline on hand so I'll probably just use that and then clean it with isopropanol alcohol before implanting. Glad to know the coating doesn't need to be kept in saline. That was my main concern.

Sounds very interesting @chironex when/if you upload it again id love to give it a watch.

Well if 4/5 fail then doest that leave you with on average two good enough for implant with a pack of ten? Because I want to buy 20 test them well and I should end up with at least one good enough for implant. Theres a lot of people who have had success with them, so I'm not ruling SMM out yet. But thanks @cassox for…

First you'll obviously need a magnet, the best magnets intended for bio use I've found on the market are silicone coated magnets. The issue with these are they are bulky and are often only sold to professional piercers. The best magnets that are "not intended" for internal use are probably multi layer magnets with a…

@Boi Yes thank you, I'm planning to buy from them. :)
-
Ok :)
-
@nothot How did you apply the Epoxy coating?
-
Is everything still going well?
-
@nothot Thanks so much! Ill be sure to contact them, and read your post.

@SimplyTom I think more coats rather than longer might work better, but I'm no expert on the subject. Keep up the research I'm curios with what you come up with. :)
-
Have you seen when Cody'sLab on youtube when he tried it? If not id recommend watching it. :)

@SimplyTom Yeah its so hard to find someone do do coatings for biomagnets. The only issue with gold it how soft the metal is, and how quickly it wears. And when you coat it your only a layer thats a few microns thick, even with multiple coatings id worry a but about how long you could implant it before having to remove it.…

@SimplyTom From what I've seen gold coated magnets have a far lower success rate than most biocompatible coating, like silicon, or better TiN or even better parylene. but hardly any companies do parylene...
-
@nothot, what company did you you purchase your magnets from, if you don't mind me asking? The ones I've contacted have either been way over priced or they don't supply to where I'm located.
-
Very interesting Idea @nothot Ill be very interested in your results.
-
@Cassox Oh well thats really annoying, can the chances of this be decreased by having multiple layers of TiN, or offering to pay extra if its coated well? Or anything?
-
Thanks @Beano @Nothot and @Cassox you've helped clear a lot up, thank you! One more question Im currently having. The magnet suppliers I've contacted said they don't do parylene coatings as its to hard to create a strong bond. Would a coating of (Ni-Cu-Ni) followed by a coating of TiN and Gold be sufficient?
-
@nothot Ok thank you so much for clearing that up. :)

Just saying I think that it might be time to look into other possible options for sources. This post is from 2016, its now 2018 and dangerous things is still not selling biomagnets. And the only reliable source I've come across for magnets meant for implantation is Silicone coated magnets sold by Steve Haworth, and from…
