      Not a problem at all! You will get up to 875-1250 square feet in one coat out of a 5 gallon pail. It really comes down to what you are applying it to (porosity), and how many coats (1 or 2). For two coats, a good average is 250 square feet per gallon in one coat.

      First year we used this sealer it looked great now there is white chalky look covering concrete can’t get it off and looks terrible! Very disappointed we covered a lot of area.

      If the seal only lasted one year and has a chalky look, this is an immediate indicator that the sealer was applied too heavy or you have too many coats of a previous sealer causing the coating to become non-breathable.

      Simple fix: Do not apply any more sealer. Instead purchase Xylene (solvent) from you local hardware store/paint store and roll the Xylene on the surface (only in the evening 6:30pm+). This will re-emulsify the acrylic on the surface turning it back into a liquid state, allowing it to resettle and look like brand new!
