Default Sifting perlite
Does anyone follow any method to sift perlite? I buy big bags of usually #3 and unfortunately during shipping (and perhaps storage) they usually arrive with many crushed. I wanna divide the perlite in sizes but sifting could cause a lot of dust.

Does anyone sift their media and has any recommendations? Doing it outdoors? In the bathtub wearing a mask? Maybe under running water for easier handling? Sieves generally require the media to be dry but then how do you work around dust?
