Sand filling Premier S-series speaker stand, How?


I just bought a pair of Paradigm Studio 40 and a pair of preimer stand s-18. According to the premier website, these stands can be sand filled. I'm wondering what kind of sand people normally use and where I could get some?

Have anybody else sand filled your premier s series stands before? Do you fill both the center posts? The post in the back have a hole in the bottom. What do you use to block the hole?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Unless you really need the extra weight (e.g., for stability, perlite is as good or better than either sand or lead for damping vibrations and it weighs a _lot_ less. During a recent move I removed the sand in my Vienna Acoustics Mozarts and replaced it with perlite. Big improvement!
