Find how many tubes or gallons of adhesive a job needs.
Total bond area is the surface times the coats, divided by how much a single tube or gallon covers to find the units to buy. Construction adhesives list a coverage rating, so computing required units for the real area prevents buying extra tubes.
Adhesive Coverage
Units = area x coats / coverage per unit
