I try to resist mailorder for such small things because you end up paying as
much for shipping as the item cost. I've been keeping my eyes out for sheet
lead that could be cut into strips but I have not had the time to really look
for any.

However, the potsherds approach seems to work.

If lead weights are not dangerous or a problem then why have most retail
sources (at least in Denver) stopped carrying them?

I've had to resort to using potsherds that I've drilled and tied together
with
string or fishing
