Drying sand in the oven- anyone try it?


Hi gents & ladies,

I'm going to use monitors in my home office, got some really nice four-pillar Focus stands to sit the speakers on. I want to fill the pillars with sand, but want to make sure the sand is completely dry before I fill'em up. Why not use the oven? Heat it up and let the sand bake for a while. Have you done this? What temp? For how long? Thanks, Jeff

Sidestep the issue by getting really nice sand too. Sakrete Construction Grade Fine sand at Home Depot worked for me. It's pure and uniform. They keep this inside, high and dry. Look along the wall near the house paint. Don't breathe it, it is toxic. Pours like a charm down a funnel.
