My cousin gave me a siphon blaster. I was going to use sand in it. He didn't like it because the sand didn't feed well because it was wet. I was planning on putting the sand on the stove or in the oven to cook the water out of it before I used it. I also have a sifting screen so it would be easy to re-use

What sand do you use and where do you get it local? I've heard play sand but the grain size isn't uniform so I thought there were feeding issues.

Sand might be a bit heavy for the oven. If you have a dehumidifier you can put the sand next to it for a few days or a week. It will slowly pull most of the moisture out.

If you want to get rid of the sand, bring it tomorrow. Jackson is 83.5% sand anyway, dump it in the woods behind my house.
