Great Stuff, How much is in a can
 
I know this is a old post, but 1200 cubic inches is 8 1/3 cubic feet. 1200/144= 8.3333
The company says it will fill 6 36"x60" windows .375 (3/8ths) x 1"

I see you failed geometry. A cubic foot is 12 x 12 x 12. Use your
calculator to finish this and you will see your error.

You took 1200 and divided by 144 which is inches in a square foot not a cubic foot.
1 foot = 12 inches
Volume L x W x H
In feet 1 x 1 x 1 = 1 cubic foot
In inches 12 x 12 x 12 = 1728 cubic inches (144 x 12)
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches
1200/1728= 0.6944 cubic feet
