When using sand, you MUST use a HEPA rated respirator. Inhaling silica sand can cause
silicosis. Silicosis is a terrible death and not quick. This is not something you take a quick chance on even for 1 quick job.
And even with a HEPA rated Respirator, it must fit properly and totally seal. If you dont have one or know how to test it, go to a safety supply company and ask for assistance. Its your life.
