Sand and shot?

I had no luck find blu tack at Walmart. Elizabeth where can I find the generic blu tack you mentioned? My quest continues.

Once again I thank you for your knowledge and advice. I called a gun shop to inquire about the shot and was told Walmart has this. Maybe I can get the blu tac at the same time. I'm on my wayyyy :)

Hello and thanks to all who have replied. I did go to Lowe's yesterday and purchased the play sand they had(only one I saw). I think I will forgo the lead shot at this time. These stands are not high dollar and I will probably replace them in the future. My next go round will have a mix of sand and shot. Nice thread on the cautions. Good listening, Bret

I have not completed building the stands so I may reconsider adding the shot. I'm also in need of some blu tack for the top plates. The stands come with foam pads but I rather use the blu tack. Anybody have a wad they would like to sell? Also what can I use that is similar that I can pickup at Lowe's. Ahh the pains of a phile :)

Hey Walkman I like your idea. May give that a try. Timrhu I'll look for that 3M putty you mentioned. Stay tuned--I'll get this project cooking soon. Thanks to everyone else for there input.

An update: I did find the blu tack(actually yellow)at Walmart as well as the shot. However I did not purchase the shot as they only had #6 in stock. A project for another day. In addition I just purchased a pair of Epos ELS 3's so it's been a good day I'll be looking for them soon. Like I said earlier these stands are not all that and I plan to update them in the near future. I want again to thank everyone for there feedback. Bret

Actually it's called Handi-Tak and it's made by Pacer Technology. There was some of the same in blue but this stuff claimed to be acid and lignin free(whatever that is). Anyway if you have some of that Aussie tack available let me know. Regards,
