They have 1 gallon sizes. I used 1/2 a gallon on my micro. I
recommend the wood plugs for the keel bolts as opposed to Bolger's
method of sheathing the keel. It would have been far easier to set
the boat on top of the bolts and snug up the nuts, than to hold the
keel in place while sheathing.
Things learned are good to share.

That shows how much chemistry UPS knows. Sodium Silicate is not toxic, nor
explosive or a hazard. It is sold at farm places as "egg keeper" as it seals
egg shells. Also called "water glass" in some trades. The last time I needed
some to seal up some small weepy places in a small boiler I got a gallon can at
the local hardware store as water glass.
