    I've seen different sieves available in the Grainger catalog.

    Tim,
    That is what I was looking at, but was having trouble finding millimeter sizing.

    Do you remember what you got?

    I have a full set of Endecotts along USGA spec sizing so we can analyse our sand. If you wanted to draw your own distribution chart you'll need some logarithmic graph paper, but once you do one it's pretty easy.

    Chad,
    I never bought any. I just remembered seeing them in their HUGE catalog.

    Please double check the sieve sizing. Metric or standard will work. Ancient Roman sieves such as we used on nine green caused to many large sized particles in the mix

    Tim,

    Perfect choice! Pretty soon you'll get good enough to eyeball it. 5 or 10 pieces still held on the 2 mil screen, the 1 mil screen covered with daylight showing, then just make sure the bottom pan doesn't have a half inch of dust in it, and you're getting there. Sand needs to be ABSOLUTELY dry! Best investment you'll ever make. Other than Microsoft at 50 cents a share.
