Default HOW2 increase anchor weight ?

Even if you found a way to securely attach lead weight I don't see how it
could be done without screwing up the balance. A poorly balanced anchor
regardless of the pattern will be harder to set. Also extra weight without
increasing the actual size does not necessasarily lead to better holding
power.

I just read about someone increasing their CQR anchor heft by adding lead.
Has anyone knowledge of how this can be properly done ?

Thanks again,
