Another way...Build yourself a box, 1" deep, the width of your cockpit and 2' long. Then get a 94lb bag or Redi Crete. Wet the crete with a #3-4 slump, (that means somewhat dry but hydrated well) so you can spread it out. Then get the bathroom scale and start spreading mud. watch the number rise until you got what you need. Get a hunk of 1/4" plywood and cover the box when you get the weight you need.
For farmer style small amounts, get a bicycle inner tube and some 3/4" rock or sand. Cut the tube in 12" lengths and tie off one end. When you hit 1-2lbs, each increment will depend on what you need) tie off the other end.
Other than that, see if you can find a good lod service station. The kind with real mechanics and maybe even an owner on site. Tell them what you're up to and I'm sure they can grab some weights for you.
It's very Polish, but it works if you can't find lead.
One last thing...Do you launch wet? Cause every time we have weighed right to the money, if we launch wet, KT's cut suit and shoes will hold about 5 lbs of water, cause we are 5 lbs over like clock work every time....
