In my 50+ track days experience, I've never had a wheel weight come off. I paint stick their location so I know what was there.

When running slicks on my Z06 race car I have the wheels balanced on a dynamic balancer with no tires mounted. I then put aluminum tape from Lowes,(used on HVAC ducting installs) over those wheel weights. I label those weights with a sharpie. ( DO NOT REMOVE). I then mount the tires with minimal lube and mark the wheels and tires to detect any rotation.
If vibration becomes bad at track on a Summer day I check for rubber chunks in wheel barrel. If I see severe rotation on the rim, and if rubber build up doesn't appear to be the culprit I may move the tire specific wheel weights.

I bring a Harbor freight bubble balancer to the track when running slicks. I have yet to have an issue with my SS1LE but I'm still learning the car on the Goodyears and my pace is off appreciably from my C5Z06.

This stuff has the consistency of roof tar. Might work, but is a gooey mess and would probably slip if it got real hot. Better suited for low pressure/off road applications.
