Default Balancing ARF in longitudinal axis

I need some inputs on how to balance an ARF plane in the longitudinal axis (nose-to-tail axis). I normally hold the spinner and the tail by hand and watch how the wing tilts. The question is how do I add weight to the wing tip when the covering is already on ? The easiest way is just to stick a lead weight using double sided tape, of course the weight is a bit of an eye sore! Is there a better and more elegant way ? I figure that adding weight to the wing tip makes more sense than anywhere else as I can minimise the total weight of the plane. Thanks for the inputs !................
