## Description

A pure snow white* silica sand ideal for use in Arts and Crafts Decoration or Aquariums.This sand in FINE - 0.25mm to 0.5mm grain sizeWhile not normally an issue we advise that the sand is rinsed prior to introduction into an aquarium to remove any of the finer particles that naturally occur and can sometimes initially 'cloud' the water until cleared by the filter/pump.Available in tubs or resealable bags except the 25kg which comes in a heavy duty plastic sack.*Note, the product does have the occasional black fleck/grain.

Review: Added to paint for great textured effect - Years ago I added normal sand to wall paint and the look was great. However I read there could be interferences with paint composition using normal sand from the beach or desert, so I tried this out when I next decorated my room, which a few weeks ago now. Amazing. Thought the size of the granules might not be large enough. I was happily proven wrong. Pretty much perfect for my aesthetic. With a little trial and error, the look I wanted required at least 300g sand to 1000mL paint (just say one third sand to paint). 2 coats of paint were needed. I used Craig & Rose paint and that worked well. I like the fact the sand is white, which complemented the paint I used for the walls. I used a natural bristled brush combined with the dab technique. Employing the normal brush stroke method resulted in significantly bare areas devoid of sand texture. For a 6m2 room I used almost 2.5-3kg sand. When I redecorate another room in this fashion I will certainly buy more of this sand. My mother has seen the effect and now wants it for one of her rooms.
Review: Great item - Ideal for my crochet projects.
