Hot glue!
I s*** you not! And I'm a genius if I do say so myself.
I had a ceiling fan in the bedroom that no matter what I did I could NOT get balanced. I moved the test weight around for 30 minutes and just couldnt get it. Then I had an revelation.
I swear I have never had a more balanced ceiling fan. In the past each one has had even the slightest wobble. After this weekend, not anymore. Going to repeat that on the rest of the fans in the house that have a slight wobble.

- take down all the blades, including the metal bracket. (leaving it attached to the blade. Dont remove the wood blade from the bracket. You should have just a hub left on the ceiling)
- Get out the kitchen scale and set it to grams for the most granular reading.
- Measure each blade, marking the weight on each. I found 2 that matched on the heaviest side of 322 grams. I set those aside. The other 3 were within 1-3 grams.
- Marked the midpoint lengthwise on each of the 3 blades.
- Put the blades one by one back on the scale facing upright so the top of the blade was up.
- I slowly dripped hot glue onto the mark on the top of the blade until it read 322g to match the heaviest blades.
- Repeat until they are all the same weight.
