Adding weight to the wings? Don't bother, it won't make a bit of difference to the way any plane flies for you for a long time.
I disagree.

If you're not laterally balanced, you're compensating with aileron input to create level flight and this creates unnecessary drag in level flight. A balanced plane is a happy plane. It's a good habit to get into.

This is what I did to add weight to a wing tip on my Sig Somethin' Extra. I covered my wings last after balancing.
