Assuming you are wanting to buy only what you need to fill a piece of King inner slide tubing that is about 30" long...

A little simple math will get you the answer:

3.1416 x .343" squared x 30" x .34 will get you an answer in pounds. (Cerrobend weighs about .34 pounds per cubic inch).

You might want to buy a dab more.

That's impressively heavy. It must be infinitely dense!

It was nice of Dan to help out Ian.
Yeah. Sorry. I meant CUBIC INCH. Duh :oops:

As a comparison... mild steel weights .283 pounds per cubic inch. Aluminum is about 1/3 that.
