You might want to try some of that "fixturing alloy" you can get from

Yeah... but you'll still need to machine it in place to balance.

And don't let the cub scout handle the stuff unsupervised - same goes
for the lead really.

CerroSafe was developed specifically because it is safe for kids to
handle, as in casting toy soldiers.
