Default weight issue

I am building a North Star kit. The engine in mounted at the back of the plane. The plans call for several oz. of weight in the nose. I have an idea on how to add the weight but I thought I would give you all a chance to give me suggestions on a better way. My idea is to put lead shot in a plastic bag with epoxy. While the epoxy is still soft I would set the bag in the front compartment allowing it to take the shape of its surroundings. When the glue cures I would secure the bag with its contents to the inside of the plane. What do you think?
