So, where can I buy leaded or lead tape, if there is such a thing? I was hoping to use it to balance tires. Are there other methods that are recommended? Thanks

You can get lead tape from a golf shop. I just use hot glue and cut up washers. Lead tape got expensive.

Pennies would be slight overkill. It is for a B4. Unless I dremeled them into pieces. Hey, I might be onto something. But, defacing money is a felony I believe, and I would never break the law.

Yeah someone would file a lawsuit:

Charge: Defacing a U.S. Penny Fine: $1,000,000.00 dollars.

Heh, hey in this day and age it wouldn't surprise me.

Whatabout those machines that allow you to press pennies into those souvenir tokens?! Is that illegal now or somethin?

I don't think that is illegal, but am unsure why it is not. Those machines that press pennies are legal maybe because they are defacing not for fraud reasons but for souvenirs. Just a guess. Squeezed in Alaksa over the summer. $.51 and you get a nice oblong copper souvenir.

Golf or Tennis shop... I got 2 rolls off ebay for a decent price... You want the weighting stuff, not the lead shielding tape...
