These weights are made of lead shot encapsulated in epoxy resin to maximize the weight using lead, yet reduce the hazards of lead handling. Weighing eight ounces, the weights slide into the two cavities in the VII keel and can be secured by using a dab of RTV silicone rubber.

A strip of lead sheet 8” x 1” is also supplied, to enable the model to be trimmed accurately. Some trimming of weight edges may be required. Treat as a lead product. Wear appropriate breathing gear if sanding etc. Wash hands thoroughly after use.

These specially designed weights fit perfectly into the keel slot within the model. Spaced equidistantly, they provide the bulk of the ballast required.

Fine tuning of the boat?s trim is accomplished with the use of small amounts of lead cut from the 8” x 1” strip provided with the weights kit.

Weights are made of lead shot encapsulated in epoxy to reduce handling hazard. Handle as a lead product. Wear rubber gloves. Glue into hull using RTV Silicone rubber adhesive. Total weight of 10 oz (excluding the lead strip)
