When making piles of anything granular, I am a big believer in making a REAL pile of the stuff and then dribbling dilute white glue on it to preserve the shape. This is the only easy way to get the correct angle of repose. Without great skill, anything else will look fake. If the glue doesn't penetrate all the way to the bottom of the pile, so much the better--your pile will be hollow and you will save some material.
