Default RE: prop balancing

I balanced the tips first using thinned epoxy painted on one tip. Then I did the hub using non-thinned 5 minute epoxy. It's best to keep pushing the epoxy back into place until it starts to set or it keeps sliding off. After a couple of minutes it stays in place. The prop points straight up and down to balance the hub. It should stay in place once it is balanced.

Mainly I am interested in balancing the hub, been taking off wood on one side of hub, but am worried this might weaken prop. I have never seen anyone add weight to the hub but think this might be way to go? should you balance hub first then tips?
