Actually I did cut some circles out of a 1/4" thick foam pad I have, and that does the trick. I also install screws in the mounting holes for the cutout and mounting bracket to keep the sand out.

You're certainly right about the sand gets everywhere. I even wish my blast cabinet was outside instead of the basement.
