Sorbothane record weight?


I have an older b&o rx2 turntable that I am not comfortable putting much weight on, the spindle will probably not work with a clamp, and the tone arm is not adjustable so I am not interested in adding a mat.  It occurred to me that maybe a "puck" that doesn't weigh much could be made out of layers of sorbothane sheets and used as a low mass "weight" to damp record vibrations.  I have googled and searched forums and haven't found any hint that anyone has tried this. 

Is this a really bad idea for some reason I cannot think of?  I am certainly no expert.

Why don't you try it yourself? Worst it can do is slow it down if the platter drive is too weak. If it sounds better, then use it. I don't think it will though.
