Place the magnets on the disc in alternating polarity. Always check the polarity of the next magnet with the one that has already been glued. To do this, hold the next magnet in your fist and then run your hand over the glued magnet to feel the polarity in your arm.
Place the magnets on the disc in alternating polarity. Always check the polarity of the next magnet with the one that has already been glued. To do this, hold the next magnet in your fist and then run your hand carefully over the glued magnet to feel the polarity in your arm. If the magnets repel each other, the magnet in the hand can be placed on the disc in the next free spot.

This time check the position of the first magnet with one of the glued Downwind Magnet Disk for the first magnet you place. As mentioned above, the opposite magnet must have the reverse polarity to create the desired magnetic flux. Once the first magnet is in place, repeat the process while alternating the polarity.
This time check the position of the first magnet with one of the glued Downwind Magnet Disk for the first magnet you place. As mentioned above, the opposite magnet must have the reverse polarity (The magnets attract each other.) to create the desired magnetic flux. Once the first magnet is in place, repeat the process while alternating the polarity like before.
