With all the discussion about silica sand I went and bought some from Amazon. I don’t need huge amounts so bought 10 lbs. Size looks great to me. Wonder what you think.

I’m curious about this too. I’ve seen so many people talk about silica sand being too fine, I didn’t even realize it could be too coarse. I hope someone can elucidate.
