Default Lead Shot needed

Or a few gallons of epoxy, a little at a time.

What is going to keep these weights from shifting? Loose lead pigs
could be a real problem.

One solution to this is has been to finish with pouring cement into the

I've begun stacking rectangular lead 'pigs' into my internally
ballasted keel cavity. Becuase the pigs ARE retangular, and the keel
is not, there are some 'voids' or 'vacancies' into which I hope to
pour lead shot so as to fill these voids. I figure I'll need a couple
hundred lbs.

I've discovered a few sites on the 'Net selling 25lb bags for $15, but
am hoping that the assembled brain-trust can suggest a less expensive
option.
