Gel Coat Coverage Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the gel coat coverage is:

\[ GCC = Q \times 25 \times \frac{15}{T} \]

Where:

\( GCC \) is the gel coat coverage (square feet of coverage)
\( Q \) is the total number of quarts of gel
\( T \) is the thickness of the coat (in mils)

What is Gel Coat Coverage?

Gel coat coverage refers to the area that can be covered by a specific amount of gel coat at a given thickness. This calculation helps in determining how much gel coat is needed for a project, ensuring efficient use of materials.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Number of Quarts (Q) = 4
Thickness of Coat (T) = 10 mils

Using the formula to calculate the gel coat coverage:

\[ GCC = 4 \times 25 \times \frac{15}{10} = 150 \text{ square feet} \]

The gel coat coverage is 150 square feet.
