2 part epoxy, put a dab on first and then encapsulate [cover] the magnet

I used the epoxy metal stuff, with a wrap of duck tape over the top.

I mixed up two small balls, pushed them onto the prop, then pushed the magnets into the balls and smoothed the epoxy around the magnets.

i drilled a small hole the same diameter as the magnet and glued it into that leaving the magnet about half thickness proud

Shallow hole in prop adaptor will be fine rather than prop tube itself.
