I can do that.

I use the silica sand, I think it was in the drywall section, or with pool filtration.
Playground sand sucks to try to get dry and then get through a funnel.

Just an update on this. I needed some sand for a new bag. Bruno’s charges $40 for 20 lbs of heavy sand plus shipping. Sinclair is out of their 15 lb box for $22. Local source for silica sand in Grand Junction, CO is Colorado Concrete Accessories. 50 lbs for $18.66. I’m set for life. 70 grit sand worked great for me.

This isn't about the fill but about the " after fill" of your rear bag. I keep mine on the floor/trunk of my vehicle. It helps to settle the sand and slowly stretch the bag as the car moves over the road. You may be surprised after a few weeks how much your rear bag takes shape and how much more sand is needed to get it back where it was. This isn't my original thought; it was passed on to me, I think, by Wheeler.

First rear bag I had with heavy sand--after a month I started calling it the Car battery
I like regular sand in the ears

I put regular sand from Home Depot in my Dima rear bag, and man it’s keeping me from having to see a chiropractor at half the weight it used to be.
P.s and I think it works better too…waterline is nice and flat.
