Jan Kolbaba Jan 27, 2010: I quess our suggestions are almost the same. For example here they use "stmelené písky": http://www.zakladanistaveb.cz/index_cz.php?cat=co-umime&id=2...
KacaBaba (asker) Jan 27, 2010: FYI: My friend, geologist, proposes "slabě zpevněný písek"
KacaBaba (asker) Jan 27, 2010: Well, don't apologize, I am glad you confirmed what I thought. Thanks :-)
Charles Stanford Jan 27, 2010: Yes, sorry - I cannot help with that. It just took me a while to work out what on earth they meant by it in English, so I was thinking aloud
KacaBaba (asker) Jan 27, 2010: That's what I thought, but I have problems finding the proper Czech term...
Jan Kolbaba Jan 27, 2010: agree
Charles Stanford Jan 27, 2010: Presumably means that the sand falls apart quite easily - i.e. is not too wet or something and so is easy to handle/process/mix
