Jeepers Leatherback you're good at finding these people thanks :)
I thought coarse was good no? I've often seen people write about coarse sand and coarse grit etc.

As I wrote, 8 - 16 mm is too coarse. You're looking for particles of about 2 mm.

But if I crush it and sift it like you mentioned before?

Then it won't be 8 - 16 mm anymore.

Exactly. It'll be smaller.

Yeah, if they were bigger after crushing, that would be news ;) :whistle:
