Importing Sand

[sansei]

Natural sand is smooth and rounded from wear. Crushed rock is irregular and angular. The aggregate would tend to dominate a concrete mix and I would not expect to see any difference between natural and manufactured sand. A mortar mix for pointing or grouting may not work as smoothly with the pointy man made sand. There may also be some descernable difference in shotcrete or gunnite. Someone from Pacific Gunnite may be able to answer that.
