Yeah, that's what I did, just making sure my math was right lol. I don't think there is a way to get an actual number on a problem like this though, but you can get it close. Once I had the cubic inches, I converted the whole using that number Jack posted above, but you figure, a cubic inch is a square and you're figuring for a rounded surface so there is a whole bunch of little voids that don't get counted I think.

That's close enough for my purposes though, thanks folks.
