Here's a suggestion .....
Measure the diameter (D) of the seal.
Divide the diameter (D) by 2 to get the radius (R).
The seal length is the circumference of the seal diameter, which is equal to 2 (Pi)R.
Pi = 3.14159, call it 3.14
2(Pi) = 6.28.
Multiply 6.28 x R to get your min. seal length.
Add a couple inches for shrinkage in the dryer, trimming, etc.
How's dat?

I used 94 inches when I did mine, along with about a 1/2 tube of Permatex Ultra Copper.
