The approximate coverage area depends on how much material is contained in a unit (A+B by weight) and what the material yields on a cubic inches/lb. or cubic centimeters per kg. basis. Since each brushable mold rubber has a different yield as measured by cubic inches/lb. or cubic centimeters per kg., coverage rates will vary. Example - Doing The Math Calculating the coverage of a 1 gallon unit of Mold Max® Stroke; • A 1 gallon kit of Mold Max Stroke (A+B) contains 11 lbs. • The cubic inch/lb. yield of Mold Max Stroke is 23.5 inches. 1. 11 lbs. x 23.5 cubic inches per pound = 259 cubic inches 2. Divide 259 cu. in. by .375 (3/8") = 691 square inches 3. Divide 691 by 144 (no. of square inches in a square foot) = 4.8 square feet 4. 4.8 square feet (0.45 m2) is coverage of a gallon unit of Mold Max applied 3/8" thick. Calculating the coverage of a 5gallon unit of Mold Max® Stroke; • A 5 gallon kit of Mold Max Stroke (A+B) contains 55 lbs. • The cubic inch/lb. yield of Mold Max Stroke is 23.5 inches. 1. 55 lbs. x 23.5 cubic inches per pound = 1,293 cubic inches 2. Divide 1,293 cu. inches by .375 (3/8") = 3,448 square inches 3. Divide 3,448 by144 (no. of square inches in a square foot) = 24 square feet 4. 24 square feet (2.23 m2) is coverage of 5-gallon unit of Mold Max applied 3/8" thick. The following offers flat-area coverage rates for some of Smooth-On's brushable mold making rubbers. The below values assume a final rubber thickness of 3/8" / 0.95 cm, 4 layers of rubber applied as directed.
