Nice!

I'd like to add a couple of those to my bag. Where did you weight those bad boys?

The spots were painted using a stencil made from clear plastic report covers I "borrowed" from the office. Actually, I made two identical templates so I could could paint both sides of the plug without having to wait for the stencil to dry.

Karl,

No weight added.
