Default I need help understanding this "hub balance" thing.

I have a Top Flight magnetic balancer. I balance all my props, ranging from a 10-6 to 18-6. I have read a lot about the hub being out of balance as in jamesbissonjr's thread.
The problem Captain is that the extra weight isn't in a blade, it's in the center hub!
I hope I don't embarrass myself too bad by asking this....... How can you tell WHICH ONE is out of balance??? (Blade, hub, or both?). All I know how to do is just add, or subtract weight from the blades, so neither will drop when left in the horizontal position. Thanks in advance...... lownslo........Bob
