Sand Pile at Asphalt Plant
Dorothy has been creative but now needs some help:
“Last winter I made two lovely piles of sand out of brown sugar. They held up very well in the dry basement. Now that the air has been a bit damp I had to scrape them up today. How do I construct a pile of sand?”

I would shape a piece of styrofoam (extruded foam insulation into the general shape of the pile, then using a 1:1 mixture of white glue and water, paint the foam with the glue, then sprinkle real sand on it. It might take a couple of coats, but it should yield a realistic sand pile. Depending on scale, use the finest grain of sand you can.
Great contribution Ken!
