Ah, okay, a bit heavier on the sand than I guessed, but not too far
off. =)

Same experience here, although it begins to smell a bit in the
Florida sun. Have not noticed any diff in how it sets though.

Yikes. You are a braver man than I. How many did you explode? If you
are going to do much of that see if you can find an auction on old
lapidary equipment. They have some water based saws with diamond
blades that are enclosed in a casing that would be alot safer for you
(designed for cutting rock, but works on glass).
