<p>We know that magnets can move a coil around in the wax, sometimes fixing an issue. I have a coil that has half wax and half empty and this makes for no fun. So I ordered a set of neodymium magnets to test out a potential coil fix without the need for poppin' tops!</p>
<p>These magnets are rated with 24lbs of pull and the idea is to attract one side of the coil with one and attract the exact opposite side with another. These should both be holding each side firmly in place against the glass.…</p>

<p>These magnets are rated with 24lbs of pull and the idea is to attract one side of the coil with one and attract the exact opposite side with another. These should both be holding each side firmly in place against the glass. From here, slowly raising each magnet evenly up its respective side towards the outward bend of the globe. If I am not missing something here these magnets should hold firm and cause the coil gaps to open wider as it creeps towards the widest point in the glass. This should create a larger opening for the wax to penetrate back into its crappy dry half. I might put all 4 to use and tackle it from the 4 axis points if I hire some help.</p>
<p>If I end up pulling the coil apart maybe it will end up working better anyways...</p>
<p>Fingers crossed.</p>
<p>(I didn't see a thread mentioning this approach but if I am missing one please let me know)</p>
