Several years ago I stopped using epoxy to bond nose weight when I learned that Gorilla Glue makes a stronger bond with polystyrene or fiberglass, without causing extreme exothermic heat or the need to use mechanical fasteners to secure the nose weight in place.
I weigh out the necessary amount of Copper BB's, into a paper cup, spray the BB's lightly with water until their wet, pour enough Gorrilla Glue into the cup to coat the BB's, using a mixing stick. Then spray the inside of the NC lightly with water, pour the Gorilla Glue & BB mixture into the tip of the NC, tap the NC to level the mixture and support the NC in a section of BT until it cures, about 1 hour. The water activates the Gorilla Glue and it foams up to encapsulate the BB's, when it cures. The BB's don't come loose.
Also if you need to add additional weight at a later time, just mix up another batch of BB's and pour it on top of the original nose weight.
