There's more than one way to "bang it on something hard".

I take mine outside and throw it up as high as I can, letting it come
down and "bang" on the street or in my yard. That tends to keep the
dust well away from me since I can throw it outward as well as up.

Three or four throws and most of the fine stuff is blowin' in the
wind.


That's pretty funny. Thanks.
Pretty sure if I did that it would end up in a tree or on the roof.
