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.

Cerrobend is like tubas: you can never have too much.
Get as much as you'll ever need LIFELONG the EPA may stop you in the future.
But at this price, 4.5 pounds will set him back $150....

Yeah. Sorry. I meant CUBIC INCH. DuhLJV wrote: Maybe because the rest of us just assumed he really meant cubic inch.
It was nice of Dan to help out Ian.
As a comparison... mild steel weights .283 pounds per cubic inch. Aluminum is about 1/3 that.
