Yes, sand can be used. I would suggest two things - screen it to remove any really big chunks, and also run a really strong magnet over it in case there are any metallic (ferric) components. I know that it is all supposed to be stuck down when complete, but the last thing you want is some magnetic particle coming loose and lodging in your best engine's motor... <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
