Anyone use the Edgewood Soft Bag? What sand, heavy black foundry, or the light stuff? Thanks in advance for the help.
 
Sand for Squeeze Bag

I would try and get fine sand for a squeezin bag. Ideally you want sand like you find in a sand dune. Speedy always tells the story of filling bags for Pat McMillan with fine sand. You want fine sand.

Thank you. I filled a Protektor bag with foundry sand. Chuckleing, nice and stable, no squeeze, even with sailors hands :eek: Not sure my bag is going to cut it, but ill keep oiling it trying to soften it up, and try the fine sand. Thanks for the feedback.

Ethan,
I think the degree of fill is one of the major determiners of bag hardness. Take a little out of the main bag chamber for your rear bag, and see what happens. You can always put some back.

I'm with Stephen here..... I use the foundry stuff in the front, even in the back with a Farley (thanks to Davey Dormann for that tip.... fixd my 600yd gun right up..... man I miss that guy)

Columbia dredgings are perfect once't you take the pumice hunks out ;)

Thank you. I tried that. Un forntunately as I worked the level down a cavity below the top leather starts to develop. Which led me to the question of a different bag. The black foundry sand appears to be just to dense. Probobly just me and being to picky.
