  • Coat count: Not entered

Formula details
  • Epoxy to buy: ceil(area x coatCount / coverage)

    One rounding, on the whole job. Rounding each coat up to a whole gallon and summing bought a gallon nobody applies -- the coats come out of the same unmixed kit.

  • First coat: area / coverage
  • Additional coats: area x (coatCount - 1) / coverage

FAQ

Why are first coat and additional coats separate?

Some epoxy systems use a different coverage rate for the first (seal) coat versus additional coats -- this calculator shows both as separate line items, same pattern as this app's Paint calculator splitting primer from topcoat.
