If you are thinking about using polymeric sand to make a flag stone
patio, beware.  They say that it is suppose to be like cement when dry,
and hard rubber when wet.   Wrong!  when wet it turns to sticky mush.  A
childs toe can easily dig out huge chunks.   When dry, the sand
constantly flakes off and your house will have sand tracked in all the
time.
    I am refering to the high performance sand.  The best there is.    I
hate to think about the general purpose stuff.    mes.
