Not sure if this really counts as DIY because I am not going to make it... looking for an alternative to sand from the LFS.
I have heard good things about using sand blasting sand (I'm looking for black).
This seems like a good option and is only $14 CDN for a 55lb bag. Does it look like the right stuff? Am I missing anything that should be setting off alarm bells?
Hmm... just noticed it says copper slag on the bag (though not in the description). That might be bad...
There's also this one - it's a Target Green Diamond sand, but it looks like it has nickel.
And finally, this one, but I'm not sure what is in it.
