Cartridge too heavy for tonearm counterweight...


I bought an Origin Live-modified RB 250 tonearm.
I'm mounting a Clearaudio Veritas on the tonearm for a friend, but we found that there isn't enough weight with the stock counterweight.
Any suggetions as to what I can use to make the weight heavier? I had thought of Blu-Tack, but not having done this before, perhaps that's not a good idea.
What would you use? And please, this is the ONLY cartridge that the owner wants on the tonearm as he paid $400 for it, so another cartridge isn't an option...YET.

I had a similar amazing experience with the the F-2 Titanium Heavyweight Counterweight sold by Gregory_Kerry, a member of Audiogon. You can contact him through the internal Audiogon member email contact system. I put it on my humble Rega RB-300.
This single upgrade astounded all listeners with the enhanced solidity, bass weight, and bass extension, along with clarity, harmonic richness, and musicality (overused word, but really appropriate here) over the entire audible range. You can tell I'm a fan. A great item at a fair price is deserving of praise.
It seemed to mate beautifully with my Non-felt record mat, although someday I have to see if Herbie's turntable mat is a further upgrade, as its website promises.
It is a great idea for all of us budget-minded, vinyl loving audiophiles. The current price is around $130, and well worth it.
