Does anyone have a source for heavy sand (zircon or chromite) as Sinclair is out. I have a new bag and want to use the good stuff in this one. Thanks in advance for any help.

Must be me but I don't seem to find a link for Protektor on Google relating to heavy sand or bags.
 
Neither Hart nor Protektor offer heavy sand on their websites. Sinclair is out as stated earlier and I have no idea who Russ Haydon is or how to contact him. Striking out so far......
 
Thanks Rich, at last some useful info........Amazing how some sites do not have a "search" product feature......how do they stay in business?
 
Thanks Savageboy, but like stated twice before, Sinclair is out of stock for heavy sand. I called Protektor and ordered 15lbs at $ 1 a pound as stated earlier by 82 boy. Thanks for all who replied.

I don't know why people chase around looking for heavy sand.
That particular sand with Iron Is available at mason supplies.
$1 apund plus shipping can get expensive.
Its not the $1 a pound, Its the shipping""
 
If you have a tractor supply store in your area go there and ask for Black Diamond blasting media. It is used in sand blasters. It is near the same weight per volume and I believe the last price was $8-9.00 for a 50# bag.
 
The very fine blasting sand is about as dense as one can get. It also is very abrasive. The fine glass bead abbrasive is much less abrasive and close in weight per volume. Price is less for the sand of course. Play time makes a fine clean white sand that is sold at Lowes. It is fairly inexpensive. Green heavy sand used by metal casters is expensive in comparison.
