how many square feet will a 5 gallon bucket cover on average? is it best to apply to walls by spray or rollers?

The coverage specs are included on the can, however, it really depends on how many coats you want to put it down. I used a common one-gallon garden sprayer and put down about 2.5 gals on the floor of my two-car garage. Hope this helps.

Sq ft is shown on bucket. I would say 360. I would spray if possible on all surfaces

I sealed about 600 sq.ft. of basement floor, two coats, with 5 gallon using a sprayer. The product is very thin and will probably not work very well for walls. The manufacture has a website and phone number to contact for special applications. http://www.stonetechnologiesinc.com/

average coverage is 700-800sf twice for 5 gallons but it will vary depending on the porosity of the concrete,RegardsMikeStone Technologies Corp423-503-4490

I bought it a for concrete patio and walkway. I put 2 coats on a 360 sq. ft area of broom finished concrete and the 5 gallon container is about 2/3 gone. I used a roller, which works fine on a floor, but it's thinner than paint so will drip a lot if using on a wall.

I have been using 1 to 2 ounces of concentrate per gallon of water. That seems to give me good coverage, and a gallon is enough to cover 4 small fruit trees, 12 blueberry bushes and 6 grape vines.

With one gallon, I sprayed my complete yard and some surrounding woods, twice. My yard is about 20,000 sqft. Hope this helps.

the actual coverage formula is: 1 gallon (with no waste) covers 1604 sq ft @ 1 mil (1/1000 inch)... i work for spray-lining; you'd see at our site or amazon store manufactures polyurea. raptor & all other diy's never state the true coverage formula. the bed = 60 sq ft 2.3 gallons goes 63 mils (1/16th inch), ergo 4.6 gallons is required (not including 10% waste) for 1/8 inch or 125 mils. truck beds can be over 80 sq ft on 8 ft box then outer body adds to total sq ftg. lastly at the risk of pitching you, if you went to the spray-lining (and coatings website) you'd find a factual diy comparison + no diy bedliner is in the league of polyurea with s-l. thanks, randy, ext 311 at s-l... the actual coverage formula is: 1 gallon (with no waste) covers 1604 sq ft @ 1 mil (1/1000 inch)... i work for spray-lining; you'd see at our site or amazon store manufactures polyurea. raptor & all other diy's never state the true coverage formula. the bed = 60 sq ft 2.3 gallons goes 63 mils (1/16th inch), ergo 4.6 gallons is required (not including 10% waste) for 1/8 inch or 125 mils. truck beds can be over 80 sq ft on 8 ft box then outer body adds to total sq ftg. lastly at the risk of pitching you, if you went to the spray-lining (and coatings website) you'd find a factual diy... » Read More the actual coverage formula is: 1 gallon (with no waste) covers 1604 sq ft @ 1 mil (1/1000 inch)... i work for spray-lining; you'd see at our site or amazon store manufactures polyurea. raptor & all other diy's never state the true coverage formula. the bed = 60 sq ft 2.3 gallons goes 63 mils (1/16th inch), ergo 4.6 gallons is required (not including 10% waste) for 1/8 inch or 125 mils. truck beds can be over 80 sq ft on 8 ft box then outer body adds to total sq ftg. lastly at the risk of pitching you, if you went to the spray-lining (and coatings website) you'd find a factual diy comparison + no diy bedliner is in the league of polyurea with s-l. thanks, randy, ext 311 at s-l... « Show Less

Must be a big hedge for 5 gallons. I mix only one gallon at a time in a small (1.5 gallon) sprayer, 4 quarts of diesel and 2 quart of herbicide. Mostly applying to the trunk of small trees, but this mixture also effectively took out a few privet hedges along a clearing. It works slow but is deadly. Good Luck, be careful with over spray and drifting MIKE

A lot, one gallon can go a long way. Not sure of the square footage but the liquid inside is like water. I was able to do all my yard equipment very quickly and with not much material. As soon as you put this green stuff on the wood absorbs it, you can choose to do a double coat or not. But its green so you will definitely see the places where it was enough and where you might need more. I was able to cover at least 7 to 10 tree stumps without any issues. Hope this helps.

Not sure how much coverage; I'm sure the site will tell you. Depends on how many joints/screws you are covering. I bought one gallon for a standard shower enclosure with a shower pan and have half left over. You don't need two coats as it forms a membrane.

It depends on the concentration you mix. For the majority of the insects it calls for 1oz per gallon of water. My house is only about 1,000 sq/ft with a one car garage and it takes about 2 batches or 2 ounces to spray the foundation, eaves, windows, and doors. This includes spraying the inside of the basement along the band board. This of course is also depend on how heavy it is applied through the sprayer, ie as a mist or stream. It also says on the label how many sq/ft an ounce should cover, but as I stated above there are a few factors that go into that.

I have a 3 year old cover that was showing signs of discoloration and loss of the ability to repel water. The cover has 384 square feet of surface area and I used a whole gallon to do a good job of coverage and just put one coat on. I used a everyday garden sprayer on a hot day (80 degrees F) and could control runs even on vertical surfaces. I plan to apply another coat of 303 next year to keep up with the weathering from storing the boat outside during the summer.

Always buy more than you need. Reason being, your not guaranteed 15 linear feet. Some spray real good and you get about 15 sq ft, others a little less. I had a bad one that didn't spray but a couple of feet, a dud! So get at least 4 or 5 to cover your needs. You could also look and buy a 100 sq ft or larger, maybe a better deal for your situation?

It depends on how thick you spread it. If you do it on a warm day it spreads easier. I think 40 sq ft per gallon is close if your spreading a thin coat. I did all the seams and around sky lights and such on a 23 foot and only used 1/3 of a gallon.

it says something like 50 square feet. I covered an entire tub and sidewalls with some left over for a second coat. I purchased 2 kits and applied the second one 4 days later. You will definitely need the second coat!

5000 square feet according to the label. This assumes you apply perfectly. My lawn is almost exactly 5k square feet and I usually wind up about 10% short

On the Gallon can it says it will cover 100 to 300 square feet per gallon. In my use, I sun-dried the wood & double-covered & that seemed to do the trick. In other words, it did soak in on the first coat, but not greatly, so Rustoleum's claim seem reasonable. Good Luck!

Used a gallon to strip wood floors on two rooms 10x12 and 15x18 and had extra. I would guess you can get close to 500 sq ft out of 1 gal on concrete.

I have not used my 5 gallon mix yet. I have used the 1 galloon mix an was able to treat 8 each 8x4 red cedar boards 2 coats and soaking the cut ends overnight in a 5 gallon bucket. I used a garden sprayed which was pretty fast but a little wasteful. Raised beds still look the same after 3 yrs of all weather, Sno, sleet, rain,

It depends on how thickly or thinly you apply it. If you roll it out real thin, you can probably squeeze two coats out of a gallon on, say, a 20-24 foot RV. This will give you good leak protection, and fair thermal insulation. If you put it on thicker (which gives better thermal insulation) you'll get less coverage. I used about a gallon per coat on my 24' motorhome. A friend used about 4 gallons on his 40-foot bus.
