We've had so many requests over the years for help in figuring various volumes and areas etc. that we've decided to include charts with some of the more common equivalencies so that you can figure out how much of a material you might need for a project.

ONE FINAL NOTE
Here's one we get asked quite often; How many drops of polyester catalyst in one ounce? We find that there are approximately 1200 drops per ounce. You can use this number to extrapolate up or down when using clear casting resin in various thickness castings, and avoid having to count all of those drops. (See label on resin container for recommendations on catalyst loadings for different sized castings.)
