Something to help the clouding is to sift your hands through say a fourth of a bucket full and really stir up - this will cause clouding and actually some thick foam you can spill out and do again to clear. Doesn't take long-dump out all water then put sand into your tupperware cont. or...

Listen to the 007:joy: He guided me:jumping:
