Can somebody tell me how much of this I will need to seal a 20 gallon tank? Will a quart do?

I bought one quart for my Mustang GT. I think it's a 20 gallon tank. The stuff doesn't dry right away. It takes several days. You have to tip the tank onto different sides over those days to get it coated everywhere. I admit that I didn't tip mine upside-down to coat the inside-top. It's coated everywhere else though. Yeah, one quart looked like it coated everywhere that I could see.

I would believe this would cover 20 gallon tank. Mine was 12 gallons and I had a fair amount left over.

It might... Buy some extra just in case. If you come up short youve got a big problem.

I believe a quest will do the job on a 20 gallon tank I used one quart to coat a 15 gallon tank. and maybe a third of the product was poured out as waste

didn't get to use it last fall -- going to remove tank this spring and use the sealer. can't answer your question!

Yep, one quart was more than enough for mine. Once you open it, you've got to use it all in one shot. The humidity in the air causes it to cure just from the exposure it gets from sloshing the tank. If you put it back into a 1 liter pop bottle it explodes.Guess how I know?

Hi, yes one quart should be sufficient to do the job, however, you must make sure that you prep the tank properly first by using theMarine clean and metal ready preparations as outlined by the instructions.

I used this product to paint the upper hull (above water line) of my sea Ark metal 20 ft. Boat and I applied 2 coats. I used one and 1/4 quarts. I guess one qt. Single coat would cover about 120 sq. Ft.

One gallon should do it! You can have an extra quart on hand just in case. My event (SummerFest for Nursing Home) was 3 hours long and I used 1 gallon, though, when I noticed it ran out, I'm not sure if it had been empty 5 min. or 20 min. as I was busy. On 2nd thought, I just realized I still have some left in that gallon jug. Hope this helps!

The amount required depends on the width of the seal and linear feet of the seal. I did about 100 ft. with a backer rod, using @ $100 worth of sealant. Mixing is a pain and you need to be careful to clip just enough tip of the applicator bottle. All in all, a professional is a really good idea for this job.

Buy the most economical container you can afford - at least 1 quart (I always buy a case of 4 gallons), then fill it to the indicator on the sight glass. How much you will actually need depends on how often you use it. You need to check the manufacturers recommendations in the manual as to how often you change it. Always change it after recovering an acid unit.

Mr. Harry:I had to do some math to figure out that also. I see I wrote down 1/3 oz. for my 2 gal tank sprayer. Six teaspoons make an ounce, so I use 2 teaspoons for my 2 gallons. Therefore you only need 1 teaspoon for 1 gallon. So far I only used the product for one application because fall came and grass was going dormant. I did after several weeks start to get that frost look, but what I read is that it really needs 2-3 applications. Another trick I use is to add some Bonide Spreader Sticker to the mix. It provides adhesion of the tenacity so it sticks better to the vegetation and lets it perform better. I bought that on Amazon also.

It took 1 quart for my 30ft 5th wheel. I would think you could use two quarts and have plenty.

a one quart can covered a space of about four feet bu six feet. i dont know if that is any help to you? but it seems to cover well and once it dries that real stickeyness is gone. for me it did a great job. will be purchasing more for my son inlaws camper roof. also its clear so you dont see if your sloppy.

There is 4 quarts, I sprays my jeep with 2 and used the other 2 later on my truck. As long as you only mix what you need you will be fine.

A quart will cover about 1,000 sq ft and . Make sure you shake the container. I used a small fiber cloth to apply the product. The product is a little oily, so I recommend wearing gloves. I have used this product a few times and have been very satisfied with the results. I seal my tile every couple of years. Amazon has the best price!!!!!

Their website says 1 quart will do a 25 gallon tank. But if it is not very flat, ie. A very contoured body, I would get an extra half pint, you only get one shot. You cannot apply it over itself, once dry.

One should be more than enough...I filled up my 20 gallon with a little to spare

As long as your tank has the right hand male acme thread to match the female acme thread in the hose it will work. The average size of a common 20 pound tank that you can exchange almost anywhere now is about 5 gallons the next size up is a 30 pound tank and they don't recommend you using this hose on that size tank because of the difference in output pressure ratings.

If I recall correctly, that container is enough for one quart. I mix it until I get the desired pigment, you can't have to much pigment in it, as it all becomes translucent when it hits the right temperature.

I have a 135 gallon glass tank. The glass is at least .5" thick possibly 5/8" and this product works just fine. I believe the packaging stated it works up to 20mm

The amount you need depends on the dimensions of your tank, as well as your desired depth. Not all 20 gallon tanks have the same dimensions. Once you establish that, there are calculators online that will tell you how much sand you need. Go here: http://www.marinedepot.com/md_educationcenter_calculators_sand_bed_calculator.html and as far as if you can use this for freshwater, I'm not sure. This is labeled for marine (saltwater) tanks and as such, the bacteria in it would die off if you placed in a freshwater tank. This would cause a spike in ammonia, nitrites, then nitrates. I'd search for something labeled for freshwater use. The amount you need depends on the dimensions of your tank, as well as your desired depth. Not all 20 gallon tanks have the same dimensions.

oh wow....I have no idea. I can't begin to figure it out. A lot would depend on how many coats you think you need. I'm sorry, I wish I could help. I do know that for the price I am pleased with what I use it for. Also, finding the clear one in the stores is near impossible. So far this is the only one I found that works for the outdoor areas I wish to seal.
