  1. 1. Base gallons = 1,000 sq ft × 2 coat(s) ÷ 100 sq ft/gal/coat = 20 gal.
  2. 2. Apply 5% allowance = 21 gal.
  3. 3. Pails = ceil(21 ÷ 5) = 5.

Coverage, dilution and coat requirements are product-specific. Follow the sealer technical instructions; crack repair, patching and additives are separate quantities.
