AAAAHHHH!!!! Heavy metals! Poisonous epoxy resins! Run away before it gives you the cancer!!!


Okay, sorry. The media made me say that. In seriousness, I have epoxied lead weights (grudgingly) where needed on my planes to achieve CG, and haven't had any come loose yet. I don't know if it matters much but I only use 30min. or longer epoxy for this, and I build up a little fillet around the edges of the weight so the epoxy is bonding to a greater surface area. Problem is, when you glue it in TOO well, you damage the wood taking it out......don't ask.
