Default Sand question?

Most "play sand" will not be good to use as they are not silica based, (silica is a helth hazord and it is not alowed to be used in any child play stuff) this is why "Southdown" is using argonite for a play sand.

Like Asmodeus mentions sandblasting sand comes in various sizes and can work nice PROVIDING you get a pure silica blasting sand. if you see fieldspar or any other metals on the list stay away from it.. the easyest way to see the contents is to ask the compayn to see the MSDS sheet on the sand you are looking at. it will name all the "Ingreadents" and such and any helth hazords associated wit the product.
