So I got my balancer in the mail today.. I took out a set of brand new DJI white props I just bought and started on the first one. I've watched all the videos and everything and as everyone states started horizontally on the first prop.. It was near perfect as far as I could tell.. So then I went vertical.. It spun itself horizontal indicating a heavy hub. I decided to go the clear nail polish route since it seemed the easiest and having it readily available in my wife's arsenal..
My question is this.. How much nail polish are you all finding you need to use to achieve hub balance? I used what seems to me to be quite a hefty blob which after 30 mins is still tacky, yet the hub is still heavy on the opposite side. Something just didn't seem right to me and before I destroy anymore new props I thought I'd ask. Here's a pic of the amount of polish applied so far. Sorry if it's hard to see but you can kind of see the outline of the glossy area. It's almost completely covering the whole area between the blades.
