It'd be nice if A-Line released their weights already cut.
If your talking about those stick on weights that are squared off in 1/4 oz increments. All you do is flex them a few times and they break right off. You do have to tear off the double sided tape though.
But dont bother buying from them. They are the exact same things that auto parts stores sell to automotive shops for balancing wheel weights. The come in a box with about 20 something sticks in them. And every stick has 3 pounds 1/4 in weights. Or 12 1/4 oz squares on it.
I heard A line used to have a putty that was moldable and could be packed into small cervaces to add weight. But the word is, they stopped making that stuff.
I worked for a car parts store for about 10 years, the weights we stocked were made by a company named "Champ service line" they came in a box of 20 or 25 and were 1" x 5" or so with peel and stick foam tape, i just snip off what i need and stick in place. Most stores should keep a box or 2 on hand just ask them.
