Thanks Mike for posting that!
Silica sand is a seriously dangerous health hazard!!


Before I knew better, I did a bunch of blasting outside (no breeze)
with the stuff and, not only did I breathe a lot of it, but it also
blew everywhere...its nasty dust can not be contained.

Play sand is poorly refined and not good for the equipment...
cheap for good reason and probably best not to snort that either.
