How can you tell if it's been suitably sharpened though? What if you pick up a bag that's been mishandled and has gone blunt as a consequence?Originally posted by SueEllen View PostThe sand you can get from a DIY store and doesn't cost a lot.Comment

it has small sharp stones 2-3 mm mixed in rather than being totally granular. Means it sets more like concrete than mortar. I assume they want the small stones to prevent it being washed away.Originally posted by zeitghostI think it should be "sharp sand" whatever the feck that is.
Presumably not blunt sand.

It's important that any sand you get is washed sand and it must be lime free and pH neutral. Builders sand is another no no.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment
