Looking for experience in damping material

Posted by Mushroom Soup on March 1, 2013 at 12:51:48:
On my first Thorens turntable, decades ago, I damped the subchassis with the deadest material I could fine, which was a roofing shingle. It was damp, all right, but much too heavy for the springs.

I know that some damping materials do more harm than good. Does anyone have a take on a material that does its damping chores reasonably well, doesn't weigh a ton, and makes the sound better rather than deader?

Thank you kindly

Mush
