| Note:
If the Width
of the joint is more than 1/2" use a backerod. If the Depth
of joint is more than 1/4" use a backerod.

No.
1
Add up the total length of all of your walls and times
that number by the average number of log courses.
No. 2 Then, look up the lineal foot per gallon
based on the average width and depth of your joint from
the chart.
No. 3 Finally, divide the total from No. 1 by
the chart number from No. 2 and this will give you a
quick estimate for the Total gallons. |

To
Convert Gallons of Caulking or Chinking to Cases:
10.5 oz. size tube = Total gallons_____ X .82
= _____cases/tubes.
30 oz. size tube = Total gallons_____ X 2.34=_____cases/tubes.
To Convert Gallons to Tubes:
Total gallons_____ X 128(oz.) = _____
Total oz. Then divide the Total oz. by
the tube size:10.5(oz.) or 30(oz.). = The Number
of Tubes______________.
To figure cases:
10.5(oz.) =_____ No. of tubes divided by 10(cs.)
= _____ cs.
30(oz.)
=
______ No. of tubes divided by 10(cs.) = _____ cs.
