Capt'N Bill Popper Weighting

Somebody (I forget who) asked me what was inside them.
For those interested, I xrayed a large and medium popper that I had and interestingly enough they don't carry any weight.

That was me that asked. Boy, that is decieving. They seem too heavy to be just an unweighted plug. Yhank you for responding so quickly, I appriciate it.

No need to.

His article describes exactly how to weight it. Also some threads about five years ago describe the fine tuning of that weighting (complete with pictures of floating plugs). Al Bentsen helped confirm we had it right.
