Never realized how much moisture sand can hold until now. Been trying to dry the 40lb of sand by cooking them in an aluminum tray over the stove. I have the sand sitting around for a week since the rinse and it's still damp. Not wanting to wait any longer I resorted to this method. So far it's taking about 20-25 mins per tray. What's crazy is even with the sand too hot to hold for long than a second the sand is still damp and sticks to my skin. Completely dry sand will not and fall off.
I don't know. The amount of work to prep dry sand isn't worth saving a few bucks from the live sand. I've always used the live stuff and never rinsed and it'll be near crystal clear the next morning. I rinsed the heck out of this bag and dumped what I dried last night and it's still slightly cloudy as I type this.
