- It should be known that one gallon of liquid covers 1,926.4 square feet for a thickness of thousandths (001) of inch.


Stages: a) Evaluate the thickness of adhesive necessary to a good adhesion of materials to be stuck.

b) Divide the thickness of adhesive determined into (a) by the percentage of solid in the adhesive used.


Example: If you want to apply 3 thousandth of inch and your solids are 20%. The equation is 3 X (100/20) = 15


c) To divide the response of (b) by 1926.4 will give you the number of square feet for one gallon of adhesive.



Example: 1926.4 ÷ 15 = 128.43 square feet of cover.
