Just wondering what might be the best most user friendly product to fill stands and racks with. Sand? If so, what type? How about lead shot? or Aquarium rocks? I don't want a mess or a big expense. Thanks for your input. Dave
I used playlot sand from Home Depot, loaded using a funnel. Theoretically, this could be messier than shot or rocks, but I like the better packing density.
I'm in the playsand camp too. It's cleaned and dried. Go to an auto parts place and get a good funnel with a long spout that you can manipulate around a bit. I measured out the sand in a separate container then used a plastic cup to move the sand from the bucket to the funnel. It took about 15-20 minutes per speaker but I hardly spilled a grain. I also like the resonant damping qualities.
