Can't find Southdown Tropical Play Sand

If that doesn't work you can use silicone sands . The buffering quality of the calcium carbonate sands are way over rated imo.
 
For those without a Home Depot, try ToysRUS, or any kids store that sells sandboxes.
It's usually brown sand, but it is much finer and less mudlike than some of the stuff that you get at HD. :D
 
So whats so great about this HD Southdown? I bought my sand from purearagonite.com and this stuff is white as can be. You buy so much and they even give you an extra bag free.
