If you have a barbell then I would do some barbell curls to even it out. If you don't then just do forced reps with the 15lb'er, curl with the left and use your right hand to help it through the sticking points.

I would really just do the same with both arms. It will even them out pretty quickly. The weak arm will reach failure quicker and will be fored to strengthen while the strong arm will not advance too much but will allow the other arm to catch up...then you can proceed with a pretty much even strength. Also do a lot of chinups/pullups. That way you can only do as much as you are limited too by your weak arm and the chins are a great builder of elbow flexion strength.
If you are using dumbells one at a time you should do the weak arm first, of course.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
ive got a similar problem, exept my right arm is smaller and weaker then my left, instead of the other way around. (no im not a lefty) and im curling with 20 pounds more in each hand. its still the same thing though, ill do the stuff you guys suggested next time i do arms (3 years from now, ).
1) It was a joke, big deal.
2) If you don't have a thick skin and think the world's against you, posting on internet forums isn't going to suit your needs.
To address your question, your arm strength will eventually even itself out. DB's aren't always the best solution though IMO (<- that means in my opinion ) If you can take Eric's advice and do some chinups/pullups or use a straight bar, you'll naturally force the weaker side to catch up and force it to adapt.

That was my thought too really. A bar is much better because in keeping the weight going up evenly it forces your strength to even out much simpler. See when you use a bar to curl with (as long as your forearms are up to it) you may never even notice the stength discrepancy necessarily...you'll just know you couldn't do another rep.
