  Application Notes

 Cold Sensitivity: Dry and Powdery Sand that does not hold form
 -Use and store above 65F
 -Sand may become powdery or dry if exposed to cold. 
 Regenerating Sand (fix dry sand)
 -Add a tiny amount of isopropyl alcohol to the sand (ideally via bottle sprayer) and mix well. Generally, less than 1/2 teaspoon Alcohol required for 10lb evenly spread through the sand. 
 -Always allow alcohol to evaporate completely before attempting to use sand. 
  Reusing Sand/Black Crust
 -Sand is mostly resuable per casting.
 -Small amount of black crust is formed around the casting. 
 -This crust is two parts: 1. Black sand. 2. Grey, "crispy" sand 
 -Only the grey sand that feels "crispy" next to the casting should be discarded.
