I had been putting my tail weights in after sealing. I make my own and unfortunately, even drilling over size they all don't fit. I am using wood molds which after a couple of pours are not teribally accurate in size. I hadn't thought about putting them in before sealing. I missed a nice looking tail mold on SOL earlier in the week that might have solved the issue of inconsistant diameter.

Fred, It might be worth it to buy a blank do-it mold and drill it out yourself for the tail weights, that is what I did and it works well.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
