This is a rhetorical question cos it's wet as a British Summer :angry:

Got some kiln dried sand today. It was so wet that it left a damp patch in my car (Fnarr!).

I am baking it now. (200 degrees for 30 mins, turning once ;) )

I think that I may also need to get a bigger compressor or another one to run in tandem.

Rant over.

Thats sh1t, the builderes any builders merchant worth their salt would be storing that indoors, you should have taken it back...after all you paid a premium price for that and now youre paying more. It should be a free flowing powder.

It was outside. I got it from Homebase. The other half was getting some flowers and stuff so I picked it up whilst I was there. You can make sandcastles with it, it is that wet. I am drying some now in the garden as it is nice and hot. Turning it every once in a while and it is getting there. I did put it in the oven to start with :mellow:
