Derek,

In reference to your question about silica sand- try the following.

Look in the yellow pages under building materials. The garden store up
here in Cleveland gets their shipment from a wholesale supply place that
stocks brick, sand, concrete, etc. I buy them in 50-pound bags for
$3.95. Silica sand is used for sandblasting, so I guess you could also
try that title in the phone book as well.

The stuff I have is coarse and slightly damp while in the sealed bag. Be
careful if you find the dry, small grained variety. The dust can cause
lung damage if not handled properly.
