I wanted to attach this to the original BB balancing thread ..but alas our search feature is temporarily out of commision.
Here's an outfit that uses some type of pelleted synthetic compound. Oddly enough, in my new job (in plastic extrusion), I encounter just about every synthetic pelletized compound there is ..from PVC to FEP (teflon). Most of these develop a decent amount of static charge and tend to cling to just about any appropriate material. Given the potential for static build up inside a spinning tire ... .I wonder if these pellets would kinda stay where they gravitated to in the process. That is, would the "falling" that BBs experience not occur?
BTW- many of our compounds cost anywhere from $10 - $50 a pound ... so $9 for 3 or 4 ounces is not out of line. I didn't see anyone mention this in the original thread - it's not a sweetener
A guy on the 4 banger united "list" confirmed this stuff as a viable product. He couldn't balance his bias plys ....the vendor would not exchange them and said that they would get them to balance ...they allegedly used this stuff to do it.
