      @@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I was also watching the whole thinking you should do a resin pour one time to seal the sand in there so you never even have to dump....maybe do both of these ideas together! cast a silicone piece and then fill it with a resin sealed sand block for weight!

    If it's something where weight is a concern, filler material, like foil or clay works as well. Makes it more stable than empty space too
