Making counter weights.

I figure this should be in general, but if it belongs in mods or unrelated, please move.

Ok, so I heard from a friend and the fourms that to make a counterweight you need plastic lollypop sticks. Is this true, and if so, where can you get them? I live in US. thanks.

You could use them. Go to Hobby Lobby or Walmart or Michaels. They have stuff like that.

I make my own hand made counter wieghts and i do not use any plastic lollypop things. if you looking to make a hole, a drill press is what i use but a regular drill will be fine.

Also, what are you making your counter wieghts out of?

Probably some sort of resin or rubber since he wants to use sticks.

Sorry for not being clear. I’m planning on using bouncey balls. Tried hobby lobby today to no avail, so I’ll try some other stores tomorow. Thanks!

Dude.

LOL, he has a point!!! I’ve used the straws to a pack of Kool-Aid Jammers. They are pretty solid.

I still don’t understand what the lollypop sticks are going to be used for… I just use a drill to make my counter weights

Well, if you drill them then there is always a possibility that you will crack them. Also, I used to work at Hobby Lobby and we had them. Did you check in the cake decorating stuff? Theres candy making supplies over there too.

CLosed, michaels had lolly pop sticks… thanks all. And to Cali, i asked like 5 hobby lobby people, no sticks at the one near us ???.
