Hi,

The method I've used to dry sand is spread it on a couple of cookie tin sheets and bake in the 
kitchen oven at 250 F. or 120 C. for at least an hour. Let it cool on the tins before pouring 
into a container.

Sand in a bucket will take forever to dry because the air can't get to the lower portion. 
There's an enormous surface area in sand that holds moisture.

Hi

I am going to close the system inside, so the air is going to be
resanable dry. However the sand I got might not be so dry, since I got
it from outside and it is coverd in snow. I am going to let it dry
(inside) for few days, at least until I have the weather to put my
geophone underground.

Regards.
