I use sandblasting sand that I buy in 50 pound bags at Home Depot. I prefer
it to the stuff that comes in bags marked "Play Sand" because the
sandblasting sand is much finer (smaller grained) and that seems closer to
the sand I've seen in the field. Definitely wear a mask, this stuff is
dusty.

Can't help you with that.
