X-RAY
 
I have a Capt Bills Popper that I am now getting aroun to duplicating but don't know how or if its weighted. Where do you guys have your plugs X-RAYED? I asked a friend of my wifes, she works for a dentist but she said people ask from time to time and he won't do it. Any ideas?

Option #1 - Copy the body and experiment to see where the weight works best for you and the action you want. If your dead set on duplicating it find a better friend who works at a dentist or if its a popper probably tail weighted just rewire it or take it to the bandsaw and chop it in half lengthwise.
