PEL Weight Bags are a much improved product designed and researched by PEL with added features:

• Loose washable/replaceable calico bag covers using Velcro to secure the internal weight bag.
• Internal waterproof weight bag can be used without the loose calico cover. Ideal when weighing down wet repairs.

When the weight bag becomes soiled/dirty simply wash the cover or replace with a new one. The lead shot is firstly sealed inside a polyethylene bag then further sealed inside a 50 micron polyethylene tubing and finally covered with a calico bag.

They have the feel of a heavy beanbag being soft and weighty giving surface protection while holding down curling charts, maps, posters and prints.

Paper Conservators are using them to hold down papers during conservation especially when digitising and camera work.

No doubt other uses will be found for the PEL weight bags.
