Pour the oil and sand in a glass of water. The sand will sink to the bottom, and the oil will float to the top of the water.
Now Canada is at second position for oil reservoir but most of them are in sand oil (IE. mixture of oil and sand), so that why cost of transportation and separation of oil from sand is increased. while in Saudi it contain pure crude oil (i.e. not mixed with sand) so that it's transportation and separation cost is less as comp air with Canada oil
Sand is at the bottom; water above and above water the oil.
Sand it, then repaint it with a sprayer, brush or a roller with a shorter nap than previously used.
