Title: What do you pay for kiln dried sand?
Post by: Mitchellmoxo on July 16, 2014, 08:13:40 pm: Hello,

Seem to be spending a fortune on kiln dried sand, from wickes @ £4.10 or something when you buy 10.

Does anyone get it cheaper?

Regards
Mitch

I buy it in 10 and store it in my lock up. When I get low I'll get more.
I don't mind the price because I love the colour of the sand.
