Does anyone know the formula for calculating the grams per sq cm of lead for mounting bottomside unglued components?

Thanks

I've used below:

WEIGTH OF COMPONENT IN GRAMS ---------------------------- TOTAL PAD MATING AREA IN SQUARE INCHES

GRAMS PER SQUARE INCH MUST BE EQUAL/GREATER THAN 30 FOR SECONDARY MOUNTING.

......So the more it weighs the better??? I'm not sure I follow. Did you mean to put "equal/less than" or were you answering a different question?
