Ballast is essential for keeping the nose wheel grounded on some model aircraft. But sometimes the space available isn’t big enough for fishing weights or lead shot.
Enter powdered lead: I discovered it while browsing
www.golfworks.com. (The heavy powder is used to add mass to club heads.) I pour the powdered lead into the area to be filled, then seal it with a coat of super glue. I’ve used it this way, and it works wonders in problem areas.
Wear gloves and respiratory protection when using lead because it can be harmful.
