I’ll second what Tom said in that I also ordered from Van’s. Not having sealed tanks before (my -10 was a quick build) I wasn’t sure how much I would need and ordered 2 qts. I ended up using slightly more than one quart but admittedly I applied very liberally and had to cut a hole in the rear of the first tank to reseal.

I used the quart Flamemaster tank sealant from Van's which looks to be similar to the 3M sealant. I didn't come anywhere near using the quart but I don't believe a pint would have been enough.
