i see presto makes a 3 piece weight, they also state that it's important when using it on a dial gauge type, to ignore what it says on the gauge! lol, and only rely on the weight, keep the heat up so it rocks gently back and forth, if at any time it quits rocking , raise the heat till it starts rocking agin, but start your timing again, lol able to have 5-10-and 15 lb. wieghts by adding rings, if you need to prosses at 12 lbs. it says to find washers half the weight of one of the rings and add that, and check your (GAUGE) for accuracy, (the same gauge they say ti ignore) lol. i'll stick to the way i do it now. i have gauge tested so i know it's right.
