I did this 35 years ago, a helpful hint, cut a piece of blue painters tape about 6 inches long, place a coin on the blade, and tape with blue tape, after cleaning all blades with alcohol. a good trick is to replace with a quarter if more weight is needed. move the coin inward or out as needed to get good balance I use a 6 inch chain to Gage. Once balance is good and fan turns like a gyro, peel back the tape and glue with silicone adhesive, and remove the tape altogether, the peeling back is just so you know where to keep alignment so you won't move the coin in or out while gluing. The tape is the approx weigh of the glue, so balance will be right on, now and then I may have to fine tune it a bit. I can also tell you that coins taped and left that way can crack a TV screen, I won't tell you how I know that, but they MUST be glued. I have glued coins in the first fan I did 35 years ago. Good luck.

This works so well! The wobble is a bit more prominent in mine, so I stacked a piece of tape onto a nickel, onto tape, onto a quarter (the way you end up doing in the video) in order to find the culprit. 36 cents.. Amazing. You Sir, earn the MacGyver award for the year!

I should mention that I used your technique, only I used a quarter and instead of stacking them, I simply moved it closer or further from the center of the fan blade until it balanced. But without your video, I would have never even thought of trying a counter weight to solve the problem. I was searching for videos which I thought would have me taking the fan apart then messing with the guts of it to get the spin to balance ... LOL ... anyways ... thanks again. :-)

I put 10 gram weights on mine which sorted the wobble out but these weights had double sided tape ,and I was having my dinner,when the weight flew off and went straight through my mash potato.so my advice would be to check the weight is in the right spot and superglue it on

Why didn't you leave it on high the last time? I mean all the other times you turned it on high but the last time you pulled the chain 2 times to start it. I'm thinking It wasn't as balanced as you made it seem. Fans wobble differently at different speeds and you know that. Just saying..
