All
I often use tungsten shot because it is heavier than lead and I can get
it in a variety of sizes. I started using this with my boys in the
Pinewood Derby / Cub Scouts era for weight and have been using is to add
weight to rockets since then
I get fairly small tungsten beads ("shot") and mix it with epoxy and
glue it where it needs to go (usually in the nose. I also use the
method I've seen in various places where you drill a couple of holes
through the nose cone where the epoxy / shot mixture will be and push
some brass rod through e holes. When the mixture dry around the rod as
well as stuck to the cone it's a pretty solid attachment .
You can get Tungsten Shot at the following website:

May even put some in my next t shirt

Alright, y'all saw what happened to my Fat Boy at the launch. So,
what's a good cheap place for me to get some lead shot? Or would someone
on here be willing to part with some?
