Pinewood Derby Time Again -- Question
Yes, it's that time of year again. I am helping my 8 year old with his car. I would like to create a recess in the bottom and mold weights into the recess. I was thinking about just buying fishing weights and melting them with a torch. Does anyone know if this is safe to do? Assuming it isn't, is there any reasonable substitute? I'd like to make the installation of the weights as possible.
Any thoughts and/or suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Jack
Pinewood Derby Time Again -- Question
It's been a while since we did one, but last time my son's car was really thin like that he drilled 1/8" holes and put in the small split shots (fishing weights) which he squeezed closed first. He had also sanded edges of the plastic tires which I heard they have now banned.
