Drying sand in the oven- anyone try it?


Hi gents & ladies,

I'm going to use monitors in my home office, got some really nice four-pillar Focus stands to sit the speakers on. I want to fill the pillars with sand, but want to make sure the sand is completely dry before I fill'em up. Why not use the oven? Heat it up and let the sand bake for a while. Have you done this? What temp? For how long? Thanks, Jeff

I vaguely remember a thread along this line quite a while back, but I don't have any link (sorry). I also vaguely remember there being comments about being a little careful about just what kind of sand & where you get it, because I think the poster or someone who responded had some issue with a delightful aroma as they cooked their sand. They also went into using stuff like flat pans, etc. but I think Rwwear had the right idea - turn it often, and don't baste...
