Remember though, the position of the CG of the blade is just as important.
If it is not identical on each blade the prop won't balance,even if the
blade weights are identical.
There is a way to check but it needs a special jig which pivots the blade
at a position relative to the axis of the prop, then weigh and record the
weight at a position roughly (it isn't critical) 60% diameter. That is what
must be identical for a dynamically balanced prop.
If you have an Arplast, there is hole down the middle of the blade for
adding lead to adjust dynamic balance.
Flying behind a well balanced prop, and spinner! is a revelation. If you
ever get offered a ride in our Chairman's Europa you will be amazed..
