2\. Fill out your product information.

* Label your product
* Select which estimate types you want it to be available on
* Enter your coverage rate for square footage, linear footage, and items
* Enter your price/gallon (selling price, what you are charging the client)
* Customize your unit type. The default is gallon, but you can create a different unit type (e.g., item, 5 gal, quart)
