What is Tungsten?
Tungsten is a metal with one of the highest densities. Tungsten is 1.7 times more dense than lead, 2.4 times denser than steel, and 2.7 times denser than zinc.
What is Tungsten Putty?
Tungsten Putty is a non-hardening, moldable material made from tungsten powder and a polymer binder. Under normal conditions, it will not harden. The minimum density is 10 g/cm3.
Tungsten putty is similar to lead in density. Generally, other tungsten products are used for the majority of the car’s weight, and tungsten putty is used for fine-tuning.
How to Use this Product
Tungsten Putty can be easily used for fine-tuning the weight of pinewood derby cars. Simply pinch off a piece of the putty, knead it until it is pliable, and press the putty into a cavity or hole in the car. If the car is too heavy, use a small screwdriver to remove some of the tungsten putty.
Caution
Although tungsten putty is made from non-toxic ingredients, it is NOT a toy for children to play with. Always wash your hands after use, and keep it away from food and your mouth.
