=> The best type of sand to use is sandblasting sand. This is
=>generally, if not always the acid sand that you should use with CP.
=>It is available at your nearest Home-Depot hardware store (or
=>something similar)
=> The only problem with this type of sand is that it is sold in
=>100 pound bags and injuries are not uncommon when transporting them.
=>You will never want for silica sand again, however.

If i'm not mistaken (probably am :D) sand blasting sand is white
sand, is it not? You can get this at garden centres, or hardware
stores (sometimes as sandbox sand) in standard 25kg bags (50lbs). What
you don't use for potting use in the kids sandbox.
