Wow, that's a new one on me! I never knew such a thing existed.
I've used similar things for oil and spilled paint, but I never
imagined something like that for dust.


50# will last a very long time. You just sprinkle a little and it all
works as you sweep along. It is sort of like oild sawdust.


I think I'll pick some up.
I wonder if it works on wood floors.


They seem to be contradicting themselves on their website.

I'm surprised at that. I can show you a 20,000 sq ft warehouse where it
has been used for years with no ill effects. Unless they mean
unfinished wood. I can see that as it does have some sort of oil in it.
