According to the alumilite website, the density is 0.554 ounces / cubic
inch.

A cubic foot is 1728 cu in, so it's 940 oz, or 58.75 pounds. It depends
a little on the color, but the price (from www.sculpt.com) is around
$130/gallon, which is 17 pounds. That's roughly $450/cu foot.

At my old business, we used it for various potted parts, and we bought
it in gallons, pre-dyed (black - easy color to match :) ).
