I agree, experiment, sand would work, it is what used to be used! I guess a certain type is better because it has uneven surfaces and does not compact. Builder's sand is what you want. Not beach sand. You want "sharp sand". Beach sand is rounded and compacts. Ever see glass from a river or lake? All the edges are rounded off.
