Probably they run something like 30% VOC, so that 2.25 ounces of applied paint probably results in about 1.5 ounces of weight after the volatiles have evaporated. Put another way: Those evaporative gases become global warming gases and the Ross Icefield in Antarctica breaks open, all for the vanity of Peter's paddle. Shocking!
