The only way to get perfect results is for the wind to be calm. A 10

Are you saying that a 10 MPH breeze causes a perfectly balanced prop to vibrate
noticeably?

Nope... What happens is the wind gusts during the actual balancing
operation will affect the unit from stabilizing and giving you a good
location and amount of weight to add. You can balance in the wind and
get close but why not get it perfect. If there is a row of T hangars
or something to block the wind just get behind them. No reason to not
use a wind break,.. YMMV
