ohekk - they give it to you in batches that you mix on site, I think each batch does up to around 500 feet (check with them on this, I did 675 sq ft and I had big cans and a small half batch for each coat). The pot life for me on the first two (water based coats) was fine. The top coat, AF, the solvent based coat, I put down on a day when the temp was in the high 70's and I had to fly to get each batch down while it was still workable. It's easily doable, especially if you're not working by yourself like I was.

Cost for me was I think around $1.30 to $1.40 sq ft if I'm doing the math right.

Chaplin - the only thing I'd add to the instructions, which I thought were good, is the recommendation that if you're doing the "flecked" surface, you probably don't need to add the silica after the first coat to get a non slip surface - the flecks have a texture and they don't lay down perfectly smoothly. In the end it's personal preference though. I added it & it's fine, just extra non slip.
