The LifeWatch mission is being achieved by giving access to data and information through a single infrastructure which (virtually) brings together a large range and variety of datasets, services and tools.
A: Ron Joseph of the Paint and Coatings Resource Center estimates that a gallon of paint weighs roughly 10 pounds. To determine approximately how much 5 gallons of paint weighs, multiply 10 pounds by 5 to get 50 pounds of paint per 5-gallon bucket.
EstimatinÂ­g the paint you'll need for a job is easy. Take a few minutes at home to measure the area to be painted. A gallon of paint will typically cover 450 square feet according to the manufacturer's calculations. It's safer to figure 400 square feet of coveÂ­rage per gallon of paint. If you're buying 2 or more gallons of the same color, it's a good idea to mix them all together at home so color variations don't show up in the Â­middle of a wall.
