Re: vibration damping materials

Hi Tony,
From what I've heard (for what that's worth, but having no first
hand experience with it), lead shot, although providing a nice heavy
material will tend to 'pack' over time because of its'
relative 'softness'. It remains heavy, but looses the ability to
absorb vibration, when 'packed'; it will just transmit it. I have
seen bags of lead shot used for temporary dampening purposes though.
