Mini counterweight options

My telescope setup is back heavy (as most are if imaging) and the side with the EAF is a tad heavier than it's opposite and can't get perfect balance when the telescope position is at certain angles.

I have seen this counterweight which may help but I am looking for something more around the 500g mark.

I am sure people here have home-made solutions but I can't for the life of me think of what I can use to make my own counterweight, let alone attach it to the dovetail.

Any ideas?
