Hey, at least it's only one layer.  Mine was 3, counting the replacement floor pan that was screwed down on top of the rest of the mess.

That pic is proof that rust doesn't sleep.  (compared to your first pic)

I use Qrock from our local brick/masonry supply company.  It comes in four sizes 0 through 3.  Zero being VERY fine to #3 being coarse.  I usually use #1 or 2.  I have also used regular masonry sand that I bought from Home Cheapo, but you have to screen it before use to get the big stuff out.  I use regular window screen.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT - Use a respirator/mask if you use anything with silicone in it!!  That includes what I listed above.  This is to prevent you from developing silicosis. 

Some here use black beauty that you can purchase from your local Tractor Supply.  I would not buy it on line.  The prices are outrageous and you have to pay for shipping.  Do you have a local quarry?  You need to find a local source, because you will go through a boat load of it

Hope this helps ;D

I used Patriot Blast (Black Beauty) on mine, I think it was around 13.00 for 100# bag locally.
