All:
I'm looking for small weights, preferably moldable, that I can use to weigh down the cab-end of crane truck. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
George

If you can find it, you might want to consider using bird shot. Fill in the area and apply a little white glue to keep in place.
Strips of adhesive backed wheel weights, fishing weights hammered into shape are two that come to mind.

Try these "tape-a-weights"(we used to call them) available at Harbor Freight:
A-Line sells a moldable lead weight.
I use BBs - held in place with epoxy, or pennies - I seem to have dozens of them and they stack and fit lots of places - again, held in place with epoxy.
Fishing 'Split Shot' I think is what they call it.....BB size lead balls.....glued in place for smaller areas. Bigger fishing weights for freight cars.
I have a sheet of pure lead that I use. It can be cut into any shape or size, and it is moldable to boot. Not sure where I got.....does not seem to be radioactive....
