do you have one? i'd suggest buying one, riping it apart to see what type of filler they have.

but i dont think it's a good idea to start copying there style and filler if you're gonna sell those.

Oh im not copying them i would just like to know what kind is in it.
I did 2 but one got stuck on a roof (cause of my friend) and the other was demolished.

I think it was a really fine type of sand. i dont know where they get it but i've used sand from a near by volley ball court. and it was very good, and Free!

careful if you use fine sand... it will probably leak very fast unless you have insanely good stitching.

It's not that fine, I have one. It's just like normal borderline thick. like beach sand

Very fine sand makes no sense.

I would presume that a coarser sand would be more long lasting and less leaky.

Careful that you don't go all the way into pebble territory, then you've gone too far.

when i was making my footbags, i used crushed panne and every kind of sand i used leaked through it, it really pissed me off when i realized that it was because of the material i had boughten and not of the grain of sand.

I've experimented a little with making crushed panne sand bags. The standard crushed panne that you get in shops is too thin and not woven tight enough. I was able to get sand thick enough so that it didn't leak, but the bag wasn't as good as a sand man.

If i was making a sand bag, i think i would use microsuede and make a 12 panel.

I think the sand in the Mr. Sandbag is probably from some sort of beach or sand dune area. Other than that, I have no friggin' idea.

The sand in a Mr. Sandbag is.... secret sand.

hacksterbator · Post by **hacksterbator** » 15 Sep 2005 19:46

i think it's silica(sp?) sand.

Open up a sandbag and perform a test

if you find out what the sand is in Mr. sandbags, you might have to talk to a company that makes sand paper to get hold of it, since they deal with sand in precise sizes.
