Cement to fill speaker stands?


Maybe a stupid question, but I wonder if cement (the powder used for construction) can be used instead of sand to fill speaker stands? It is somewhat difficult to find silica or play sand (no gun shops in my country so forget about lead shot) where I live, so I asking you what you think about cement for this purpose.

Thanks!

If you use cement, make sure not to get some using a fine powder. You think sand will make a mess……… Also, try not to get lime base. Sounds more expensive than sand. However, if you own a company making cement or know where you can get for cheap & have a good back, knock yourself out.
BTW padames, if you visit a local diving/scuba shop, you'll find coated lead shot that is sometimes used for ballast bags. In most cases the shot is coated with a substance like copper or even a light wax to reduce toxicity. Usually more expensive than uncoated lead shot, but it will not reduce as many years from your life.
Cost is approx. 30% more than uncoated.
