Balancing Compund

A buddy on my fire dept was talking about Equal balancing compound.
Anyone here use it or know anything about this or other types?
I found little info on the net.

He thinks I should use it bcz it would eliminate the weights & the wheels would look better.

i have tried it in the past, now i don't if the shop didn't know how to use it, but i was not happy. i always lost control of the vehicle at 55mph, but i am sure just the shop was idiots though. personally, i will never try it again, stick on wheel weights work fine IMO

I've read mixed reviews on it. People say if you use air in your tires instead of nitrogen it will clump up.

The weights I have on my tires are pretty thin, weights have been used for years . I dont think i would trust a compound for the weights , if it aint broke why fix it.
