Oh, lemme add:  my vet did a thing with his indoor arena where they used
sand for the floor and then sprayed it down with this soy oil stuff.  He
said it worked wonderfully and the horses loved it.  Now, the sand wouldn't
work too well in the isle, but maybe the oil over the aglime would keep the
dust down (cause it does get dusty as it's walked on because it wears a bit)
