I have a large collection of rolled architectural drawings which need to be placed flat in flat file drawers.  The documents are in very good condition; not brittle, etc.  They just have that "memory" of being rolled.  I have looked into the lead weight bags at Gaylord--too expensive.  I have 30 drawers to fill and will probably need four weights per drawer.  Also, the availability of lead shot in NY has become harder to obtain due to environmental regulations, so making my own with Lead is out. 

Has anyone made their own weights and what have you used?

Thanks, Shannon Lindridge
