Sorbothane record weight?


I have an older b&o rx2 turntable that I am not comfortable putting much weight on, the spindle will probably not work with a clamp, and the tone arm is not adjustable so I am not interested in adding a mat.  It occurred to me that maybe a "puck" that doesn't weigh much could be made out of layers of sorbothane sheets and used as a low mass "weight" to damp record vibrations.  I have googled and searched forums and haven't found any hint that anyone has tried this. 

Is this a really bad idea for some reason I cannot think of?  I am certainly no expert.

A few record weight i've been using long time ago are on this image
The one on my SP-10mkII is a German Made for 30 Euro, the grey one on the left side designed not only for LP, but also for 45s (also nice and cheap). They are lightweight under 300g each. 

If you want the original look for Orsonic clamp that you can lock to your spindle. 


Both Mitchell and Record Doctor make very simple and successful record clamps that really do push down and help flatten the edge.
Nothing new really however that's not really what the OP was asking.
But I have found that the Mitchell clamp requires more of a spindle standing proud of the album than the Record Doctor one does so at just $29.95 from Audio Advisor it might be worth a trial.
Also handily happens to weigh 350g....
Thanks for all of the input.  Unfortunately, It’s not as simple as buying a weight or clamp.  My spindle has a pop up plastic collar around it that drops down when an album is on the platter, leaving only the metal center of spindle above the label.  It is less than half the diameter of a normal spindle, and very short.  Without a record on the platter to hold the collar down, the platter will not turn.  (Cartridge safety feature). The platter and tone arm assembly are suspended from the underside of the plinth by three springs, now 30 something years old, and the recessed platter surface is only barely above flush with the plinth.  A 200 gram LP plus 300 grams and the platter IS flush (I checked) with the plinth as the springs stretch, and the very outer edge of of the album can make contact with the plinth.  That’s why I was looking for and trying to find something light other than the clamps I see to damp vibrations on the vinyl.  I’ll try the sorbothane and let you know if it makes any noticeable difference.  I’m using a SoundSmith SMMC 1 cartridge.

Michell actually makes 2 clamps for that reason. One for their own tables and one for Rega with the shorter spindle.
