Cartridge too heavy for tonearm counterweight...

I bought an Origin Live-modified RB 250 tonearm.
I'm mounting a Clearaudio Veritas on the tonearm for a friend, but we found that there isn't enough weight with the stock counterweight.
Any suggetions as to what I can use to make the weight heavier? I had thought of Blu-Tack, but not having done this before, perhaps that's not a good idea.
What would you use? And please, this is the ONLY cartridge that the owner wants on the tonearm as he paid $400 for it, so another cartridge isn't an option...YET.

It should have mentioned that a friend bought me the Express Audio Heavyweight. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit on the new end stub of the modified Origin Live tonearm. He tried it today, and it was too small by 1/64 of an inch.
So, now I own a new counterweight that won't fit the tonearm. A bit of an annoyance, to be sure.
