You have an area of about 280 to 360 square inches, but haven't included what depth you intend to pour so its impossible to say if 1 quart is enough. My guess is you don't. If you can buy more and return the unopened containers I'd suggest you do that.

I've never used gloss medium, and thus don't know its shrinkage properties. To be on the safe side I suggest you make several thin pours rather than one or two thick ones.

Good Luck

I'm planning on modeling a river, using Acrylic Gloss medium for the water. How much do y'all experts reckon that ah should use, y'all? The river's about 5" wide (10" at the far end) an' 'bout 3 feet long. Would 2 pints be 'nough?
Thanx, y'all!
