I would think that the fluid would distribute itself so as to balance the VC.
 Years ago, whenever I changed my own bike tires, I would dump in a bottle of
some liquid stuff which was meant to balance the tire.  Also, I have a
commercial, front loading washing machine at home.  These machines are not just
plopped into place, but they require substantial anchors because of the tremendous
vibrational loading caused by the imbalance during a spin cycle.  If the spin
cycle is operated with only water in the drum, it sits there humming away as
smoothly as a German sewing machine.

Anyway, aren't VC's filled to the brim with no air space?  If you have a high
speed machine available to you, you could try spinning it in an engine lathe.
 For this a machine with infinitely adjustable speed control would be nice,
but even a gear head machine should allow you to detect a vibration as it winds
up.
